review 1: With a 5 hour train journey to and from Scotland and London to fill I had to pick my reading material with care so I took along the newest paperback by Cathy Kelly. I thoroughly enjoyed this latest installment by the irish authoress and liked the way that it brought together the 3 experiences of adultery that the main characters lived through.I particularly liked the way it linked the story of Grandmother and Grandaughter and how through flashbacks it told the similarity of their stories, taking through to a poignant ending which sees the grandmother pass away.A cracking read - another fantastic Cathy Kelly novel and well worth the moneyComment Comment | Permalink
review 2: I really enjoyed reading this book. It was easy-reading, but sometimes that's just what
... moreyou need. However, at the end, I felt that there could've been more to this book. I felt the storyline of the mansion and the historic research/mystery was not played out well, and that story kinda died out towards the end. We didn't really find out much about it.Also, on the back of the book (dutch edition) it said: "Izzie and Anneliese have so much they would like to say to Lily, but find solace in her touching diary"... So throughout the book, I kept on waiting for the dairy to appear, which didn't happen untill almost the end of the book. And then, nothing happened with that dairy! less

After Izzie went to Ireland..it lost me and I never was able to fully connect with the character.

Not much to gain from this book. Equivalent to chickflick.
