Strange Fits of Passion by Anita Shreve


Maureen escapes a marriage in which she is being physically abused.  She flees with her infant daughter and finds safety in a Maine coastal village.  Slowly she also finds love, but her husband is in the background looking for her.  This is a story of brave and loyal people, though they may not be wordly, they understand the world and human behaviour.
