Product Description

After the dot-com bubble burst, Dan Porter is laid off from his job and must decide what is truly important. His wife of twenty years, Jackie, a beautiful and successful managing director at a clothing designer shop, no longer connects with him. His teenagers, Josh, Nina, and Millie, are distant and confusing. Jackie is tempted by the attentions of a younger man at her office, and thanks to an opportunity suggested by a magazine article, Dan finds himself contemplating a drastic change in his life.

A Risk Worth Taking is an insightful, thought-provoking novel of a man who has to discover what he really values in his work, marriage, and life. Robin Pilcher writes fluidly and well, and he is unerringly adept at capturing the details of his characters' lives. He has written a poignant and engrossing story about the real choices many adults face when they start taking stock of their lives.

By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
A risk worth taking by Robin Pilcher is written so that the reader will be hooked ~ reading it from the beginning to end, with the only stops being for making another cup of something and a pee!

An interesting plot line using factual information but with the usual feel-good factor as is common in Robin's other novels.

The writing makes it very easy to visualise the scenary and the scenarios, with the characters becoming friends very quickly.

As a fan of Rosamund Pilcher, initially I was wary of Robin's writing. Now I think that although you can see the family similarity, he has moved her style of writing on a pace and added his own identity and personality. His introduction of his character's business dilemmas just adds to the interest and plot lines.

If you like Rosamund Pilcher, Marcia Willets, Maeve Binchy and the like - then you will love this!

A very good book 31 Mar 2008
Format:Paperback
I thoroughly enjoyed this book - it was well written - the story moved on apace and you felt drawn to the characters and liked them. Robin Pilcher may not win any major awards with these books but for a really warm, friendly read, they are hard to beat! The description is good and you felt you were with the characters in the different places and feeling what they felt. Naturally as a Scot I enjoy books written and set in Scotland, so please keep it up Robin!
