Helpful Score: 1
I don't even know where to start on the review for this book. Even if i did not like the story--- i would of liked it because of the way Ms Hood wrote this story. BUT...i didn't just like this novel, i LOVED it!
I have read hundreds of novels but only a small handfull get "fantastic & unforgettable" from me. The smooth flow of the words and the writing style of this novel swept me away. I really liked the story, it absolutely possessed me after the first page, i could not put it down. I truely liked Claire and Vivien.
This is written partly in an era gone by that i remember well. This novel allowed me to relive some of it and i enjoyed that. Elizabeth Berg said (quote) "she felt the sadness of loss, the deliciousness of gossip among a group of women friends, the frustration of miscommunication in marriage, the joys of sensuality" when she read this and that sums up this wonderful novel better than i can. A read not to be missed. A joy to the heart to spend time with.
