It is though the three women who carry the story. They're marvellously different characters, all of whom come off the page equally well, each with their own strengths and frailties - and leading very different lives. But it's when a wedding brings the three women and their respective families together that the fault lines split disastrously.
I read the book in less than twenty -four hours, not as I would read a thriller but simply because I was totally engrossed in the story, but as I got closer to the end i I was conscious of the pace - and the tension - picking up considerably. There were a couple of occasions when I felt as though I'd been punched, so great was the ''emotional'' shock of what happened. It's a superb book, elegantly constructed and very much a keeper. I'm already planning just when I can reread to see ''how'' it was done.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
For another compelling story of strong women , we can recommend [[Maine by Courtney Sullivan]]. It's set in a different country but we think that you'll also enjoy [[Unexpected Lessons in Love by Bernardine Bishop]]. You might enjoy [[The Threat Level Remains Severe by Rowena MacDonald]] although we had our reservations.
