I love this book. This has been such a good read. Sue’s writing is uncomplicated and comfortable, and her characters are so convincing that I was sad to farewell them when I came to the end of the book. I am sure this book would appeal to young and older women, reading of friendships/intimacy/books/and the comfort and challenges all these bring to our lives, I especially enjoyed reading a story told in the main through the eyes of woman in their mature years. There is a lot of writing out there about the loves and lives of the younger woman, even to the point that some”characters” are in their mid 30’s and their self talk is about being old!! It was nice to read of characters who have actually had a life, someone who is 25 or even 30 hasnt really even got started - like the proliferation of biography’s by people in their 20’s all because they were in some music band, or sports team, or on a television show.
Anyway the praise on the back of Sue Gee’s book by various newspapers is not exaggerated. Great read, good characterisation, and familiar story.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
