Product Description
The warm and engaging new novel from the bestselling author of BEST OF FRIENDS. Fairy godmothers do exist, even in the tranquil hills of Ireland! Once upon a time, in the beautiful town of Carrickwell, lived three women whose lives were mapped out: Ambitious Mel would have her career and her family; caring Daisy a child with the boyfriend who is everything to her; and hot-headed Cleo would finish her degree and step into the family hotel business. Until the landscape shifted and it all came tumbling down. But Carrickwell, nestled in the shadows of Mount Carraig, is an ancient, magical place. And when Leah, a woman with her own secret turmoil, opens the Clouds Hill spa, Mel, Daisy and Cleo are thrown together -- and find the courage to discover what really matters to them, always and forever!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Formulaic chick lit,
By DubaiReader "DubaiReader" (Dubai United Arab Emirates) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Always and Forever (Paperback)
There was nothing exciting about this book. Tediously formulaic, we spend the first 200 pages being introduced to Cleo, Mel and Daisy, each with their individual problems. They eventually meet at Cloud's Hill Spa, a luxurious retreat that has opened in their village. The proprietor, Leah, an impossibly perfect woman, is the catalyst who guides them to solve all their problems and move on in their lives.
A predictable, easy read, but not earth shattering.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,an enchanting read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Always and Forever (Hardcover)
Cathy Kelly reminds me of Maeve Binchy. But she does not just copy the style of Binchy , she builds on it.Both authors have a great talent for capturing the spirit of todays modern woman in Irerland. Three woman, all with diffrent pritoies , outlook on life and all living in the 'tranqiul' country area , outside of Dublin. It follows the tale of these women, in a warm and wleocming story, with the superb balance of comedy and drama. There is the real bittersweet taste of Binchy in the novel, but with charctersation which I think is far better, and a lot of detail. You finish this book thinking you know these women, feeling for them, and even wishing them well. Certainly an excellent summers read, and highly recomended , paticualry now if you can get it in hardback, with a lovely lace bookmark it looks pride of palce on a bookshelf.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Gentle inoffensive read with likeable characters,
By
This review is from: Always and Forever (Paperback)
The characters in the story are very well drawn and I could see bits of me in all of them which meant I was sympathetic to their thoughts and problems - quite a clever trick by the author as I could imagine that everyone could find something in common with them all.
The plot is predictable and it felt as though I had read it before with very little original thought. Maybe it was the Irish setting as the number of Irish Chick Lit books around just seems to get more and more. Guilt was handled as a very extensive theme throughout the book and is described well in various ways from all of the characters at some point or another. The problem with this is that this, again, is a very well worn theme from other books.
