Review: ENDINGS by Barbara Bergin
Dr. Leslie Cohen suffered an unbearable tragedy when her entire family was killed in a car accident. To deal with the anguish, she has isolated herself by selling her house, giving up her medical practice, cutting off contact with former friends and leaving town. Her life is now comprised of going place to place as a locum tenens physician, covering for other orthopedic surgeons. Her latest month long assignment is in
Leslie Cohen has several rules she keeps to insulate against experiencing debilitating emotional pain again. But one by one her rules are broken as she becomes personally involved with Hal, his wife and especially Regan. Even her nightly ritual of remembering her husband and children do not keep the feelings at bay that she is developing for Regan. Divorced, and not looking for commitment, Regan discovers he is falling in love with Leslie.
Barbara Bergin draws on her expertise as an orthopedic surgeon and horse woman to add depth and reality to her story. She vividly describes the settings, which are vitally important to the story. Her characters are completely developed and fleshed out so that the reader is fully attuned to their psyches. At least you think you are in sync, but Ms Bergin, magnificent writer that she is, delivers a twist that will leave you ruminating long after the book is finally closed. ENDINGS by brilliant new author Barbara Bergin is a realistic love story that challenges the very existence of endings and happily ever after.
