Monday Moments - This is a Love Story by Jessica Soffer


 Central Park, NYC has been witness for a half  century of love for  Abe and Jane. Alas, Jane is dying and Abe is recounting their life together.  

Cover blurb: Told in various parts of view, even in conversation with Central Park, these  voices weave in and out  to paint a portrait as complicated and essential as love  itself. 

An homage to  NYC, to romance,  and even to loss, This is a Love  Story by Jessica Soffer tenderly captures deep  truths about life and marriage in radiant  prose. 

I really enjoyed  the chapters featuring  just life in Central Park.  Very short  paragraphs covered the movements of folks  in and out of various sections, the picnics, the kisses, the children floating boats, the vendors, the seasons.  Truly lyrical especially if you've ever visited and enjoyed a day there.
