The Nature of Fragile Things by Susan MeissnerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
When recent Irish immigrant Sophie agrees to marry the handsome widower that she met through an ad in the paper she thought that she had left all of her problems behind her. She instantly fell in love with Kat, the widowers silent five year old daughter but her new husband Martin remained distant and cool and incredibly secretive, locking his desk every day. Just as Sophie is beginning to see progress in getting Kat to trust her and begin to talk, Sophie answers the door to a strange pregnant woman looking for her husband. She shares information with Sophie that will change everything, and before Sophie and this strange woman can flee and escape the mysterious Martin, the earth begins to move and shake.
With the San Francisco earthquake as a backdrop, this intriguing mystery begins to unravel. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
