Query: Good beach reading

This novel that makes good beach reaching. The pace was slow, the mood dreamy and the characters interesting.The theme is contemporary -- a 41-year old successful female architect, unmarried and pregnant by choice, visits her home town of Spokane Washington to come to terms with her past. Her childhood has been broken by her mother's desertion when she was 9 years old, and her memories of her childhood with her father and brother haunt her. Little by little, the reader is drawn into the story of her family and the final resolution brings completion to her questions about the past.The story is small but the writing is good, and I was drawn into the character's thought processes and memories. It was a pleasant, if not challenging, read, and a good example of mood and setting. Recommended if you're looking for a well-told exploration of this woman's story.
