  • Compelling with great story line.

    I first found this book whilst on a very wet caravan holiday in the Lake District and read it non-stop for two days. I then passed it on but consequently lost track of it. When I recently saw it advertised, I knew I had to buy it again. I found the story line different from the normal run of themes and it just had me gripped. I couldn't believe it was her debut book. I was intrigued, at first, by the way the story flicked back and forward, but once I got the gist of this it became compulsive reading. I particularly liked the author's insight into the psychology of the main character

    A page turning novel about life, love and the human condition. Very readable and should appeal to most tastes particularly women. A good introduction to Maggie O’Farrell.
