Summer vacation on the island was supposed to be a restorative time for Kate, who'd lost her close friend Elizabeth in a sudden accident. But when she inherits a trunk of Elizabeth's journals, they reveal a woman far different than the cheerful wife and mother Kate had known. The complicated portrait of Elizabeth--her upbringing, her marriage, and journey to motherhood--makes Kate question not just their friendship, but her most fundamental beliefs about loyalty and deception at a time when she is uncertain in her own marriage. When an unfamiliar man's name appears in the pages, Kate realizes the extent of what she didn't know about her friend--including where she was really going when she died. Set in the anxious post-September 11th summer of 2002, this story of two women--their friendship, their marriages, private ambitions, and fears--considers the aspects of ourselves we show and those we conceal, and the repercussions of our choices.

The Unfinished Work of Elizabeth D. / Nichole Bernier

“…Needless to say, I think THE UNFINISHED WORK OF ELIZABETH D. would make a superb book club selection for female book clubs...in fact after I finished this book, the first thing I wanted to do was discuss it with a friend. If that's not a good indicator of a book club pick, then I don't know what is…There are so many relevant issues to explore include family, friendships, betrayal, adultery, career choices, motherhood, marriage, redemption, and secrets. I sure hope that I convinced you to take a look at THE UNFINISHED WORK OF ELIZABETH D. It's a beautifully written story that could potentially have the power to make you reflect on the relationships in your own life.” ~Bookingmama.net (Julie P.)

“Perfect summer read, I can imagine reading THE UNFINISHED WORK OF ELIZABETH D. the same way Kate read Elizabeth's journals - in a loft of a beach house, listening to the sounds of the ocean and feeling the salty breeze blowing through the tall windows. What a beautiful novel!  I am looking forward to seeing more from author, Nichole Bernier!” ~Alison’s Book Marks

Why did Elizabeth embark on her last trip? Why do we keep secrets from those we love most? Is it possible for mothers and fathers to have it all — work and family? Bernier’s excellent storytelling skills will keep you pondering long after the final page.” ~Washington Post (Nancy Robertson)

Bernier successfully explores how women manage to balance so much in their everyday life and the complicated emotions (guilt, frustration, fear) that go along with being a working mother. As Kate realizes there is more to Elizabeth than meets the eye, she is given the chance to uncover the truth not only about their friendship but also about herself. The Unfinished Work of Elizabeth D. is an important read for anyone who dares to ask just how well we really know our friends and neighbors, and what those discoveries mean about us.” ~Bookpage (Book of the Day) (Megan Fishmann)

“Angela Brazil did an excellent job, especially with the children’s voices.  Her inflections were absolutely perfect.”
