Thank you MacMillan and St Martins for review copies.  I loved this one on audio, there was a richness to how the voice actors captured the story but also the feeling and insights of the characters; voice acting here was so crucial for this elegant character and relationship study!  
The Snowbirds is a welcome read, I loved that Clancy focused on a less than typical committed relationship, let her characters be at a turning point not just in their relationship but also within themselves (so common at midlife) and that empty nester themes were nicely developed along with the idea that hitting later midlife, family and relationship transitions is a time of expansion and self growth, a time to think about and reflect on where you are going, not just where you have been.    I really loved the way both Kim and Grant were developed, how we learned about their backstory, their mindsets, and how the trip to Palm Springs became such a powerful, ironic and even funny part of their relationship and self growth journeys.  Clancy is a talented writer and there is a richness to her writing that really resonated with me, I really do love strong character driven stories!
