A wonderfully poignant story that had me curled up on the couch turning pages rapidly to finish it.
A dual timeline story told from three POVs: Grace, Beth and MaryAnne, covering relevant and heartbreaking topics that affected women across the years.
A lovely story of family, support and learning to depend on those we love.
Recommend!
I devoured Christian's first book, The Nowhere Child, in a night and raved to everyone about it.
I've been looking forward to reading this one and it's not what I expected.
It's a compulsive page-turner again but the twist confused me until I figured out what was going on.
Definitely an author to watch.
Barbara O'Neal has been my favourite author for many years, with her early Barbara Samuel books on my keeper shelf, so it was utterly lovely to read this book and be transported back to her days of lush, poignant, evocative storytelling.
As the story unfolds, we learn many dark secrets of the Bianci family and discover what drove sisters Kit and Mari to be the people they are today.
I absolutely loved every nuance, every page, every wonderful description.
Not many books make me cry, this one did.
Devoured it in 2 scorching hot Melbourne days.
My first Lisa Scottoline novel and it won't be my last.
The twists and turns in this one kept me turning pages rapidly.
4 teens witness something horrific and twenty years later, it comes back to haunt them all.
I enjoyed the narration from Allie Garvey's point of view the most, a flawed character with a conscience.
Looking forward to glomming more Scottoline novels!
What a wonderfully uplifting read.
I devoured this in a night, the perfect comfort read.
The book is set in a residential care facility and highlights several amazing relationships, particularly that of Anna and Luke, two young residents with memory issues.
The poignant way in which several trigger subjects like Alzheimer's, consent and suicide are handled is just beautiful.
Highly recommend.
I recently read Alison Stuart's historical mystery set in Singapore (Singapore Sapphire) and thoroughly enjoyed it, but this book held me captivated.
I loved the strong heroine, Adelaide, and the trials she went through.
And sexy American Caleb Hunt is her match in every way.
With an interesting cast of secondary characters, a vivid setting and historical data that fascinated, I found this to be a lovely page-turning read.
I don't usually read historicals but I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
Loved the Singapore setting of the time and the accurate details.
Harriet Gordon is such a strong character, I'm looking forward to further adventures with her, Inspector Robert Curran and an interesting array of secondary characters.
I also liked how the mystery unfolded.
The entire book had a hint of Agatha Christie about it, and I devoured her books when I was younger.
Bring on book 2!
Devoured this in a day.
The perfect read that once you pick up you won't want to put down.
3 interwoven stories of 3 strong women: Jess, her daughter Jamie, and her grand-daughter CJ.
The book covers heart-rending topics: the Vietnam war, teen self-harm and suicide.
I curled up with this page-turning story and sighed with happiness when I finished it.
Love Tess's books!
