review 1: This is the story of Laura Cunningham - a jewellery maker who is not quite what she seems, but we only find out hints of her story as the book progresses. She is engaged by Rob Blake to make a charm bracelet for his wife, and this leads her into a whole new world, not all of which is unfamiliar to her as you find out. Different characters in the book are also not how they first appear. This really kept my interest and I enjoyed this book.
review 2: Having just read a few reviews I found myself feeling differently about my relationship (as the reader) with Laura. While others found her hard to like, I instantly saw something of myself within her character so perhaps viewed her with a biased opinion. Laura's desperate need for isolation is wrapped up in a grey... more and bleak landscape that the writer paints for us. It was well written, especially in comparison to other drivel in the same genre, but unfortunately I can't praise it further than that. The novel is indeed heartwarming, but rather slow and dull in certain places, too much detail on irrelevant subjects distracts from what could have been quite a layered and intelligent novel. Take this on holiday (preferably in winter) and lose yourself in the heady heights of Verbier and high society.. Just don't expect it to be too memorable. less
