"Heading Out to Wonderful" by Robert Goolrick
4/5 stars
Finished 7/23/20 (catching up)
Forbidden love of a man and woman is at the center of the story but there is also the innocent love between a man and boy that is both endearing and at times bothersome. I greatly enjoyed the book but at the same time I am bothered by the fact that this is the 2nd Goolrick book I’ve read in which marriage is portrayed as more of a contract. In “A Reliable Wife” a man found his wife through a classified ad and in this book a man literally purchases his wife. And this was in the late 40s. I guess I just prefer the romantic way of finding a spouse.
