Off Course by Michelle Huneven

 

I liked it but didn't love it. The protagonist - a 29 year old economics scholar finishing her dissertation at her parent's mountain cabin in northern California - grated on me after awhile. She's in love with an older blue-collar married man, a cabinet-maker, and the relationship seems contrived. The close writing about the natural Sierra landscape is quite beautiful throughout, though.
