Thirty years. That's how long Midwesterners Kim and Grant have been together. When we first meet them they are in their fifties, have twin adult daughters who are on their own and Grant has lost his teaching position. Grant wants Kim to marry him, but she's unsure if she wants this. She is beginning to question their relationship and her unease in general. An unexpected offer from Kim's ex-husband to spend the winter at his Palm Springs condo turns them into snowbirds. This would be a winter they would never forget.
SNOWBIRDS, a novel by Christina Clancy, is a skillful portrayal of an unusual relationship in which two people have identified as partners but mostly live together on weekends. Now they will be faced with spending day in and day out with each other for an entire season in a new locale. What could go wrong? It turns out the possibilities are endless.
Told with wit and sensitivity, SNOWBIRDS is a story about introspection, self-discovery and embracing change. The setting in the legendary and storied Palm Springs is beautifully brought to life as is its lively and unique cultural scene. As for the characters, the author gifts readers with a most memorable collection of people. The narrative flows smoothly and is a pleasure to read. Highly recommended.
