Format:Hardcover
I came across this book by accident and only chose to read it because of the setting - Nantucket, off the East Coast of America. The story has all the elements of a romance, an adventure tale and a mystery complete with buried treasure. It is one of those books that competes for your time and attention with all the other things you would normally be doing until you have reached the very satisfactory end.

I have read this book twice in the last few years.It remains one of my favourite books of all time.The story has unexpected twists which, put together with an excellent storyline and believable characters along with lavishly descriptive scenery (You can almost hear the ocean and smell the salty air!)makes a book that you will be glad to own.

MUST READ FOR ANY WOMAN WHO THINKS MONEY MAKESA DIFFERENCE!
2 Feb 1997
Format:Hardcover
This is one of those books where I was completely caught up in the story. It is definitely a LAUGH and CRY book. If I knew how, I would plead with OPRAH to make it her next pick. This is the first I've read from Nancy Thayer and I hope she is currently involved with her NEXT offering. I'm also in the process of searching out my next NANCY THAYER novel from the one's I've already misse

This book is a must read for career driven women.
29 Jun 1998
Format:Mass Market Paperback
There are few women with the insight to write such a profound book. We are a complex species and Ms. Thayer does a wonderful job of not only portraying our wide range of emotions but evoking them from ourselves. This is indeed a rare gift. I picked this book up as a light summer read not expecting to be inspired to do my own soul searching such that the main character Joanna does. Congratulations are in order for Ms. Thayer and for the women who read this book and discover the meaning with in it.

A good story for women
18 Jan 1998
Format:Hardcover
This is the second book of Ms. Thayer's I have read and I like both novels; enough to want to read her again. In this book, you have a woman who goes through many changes in her life (some quite unexpected) and how she evolves 180 degrees from where she started. By the end of the book she has melded the two wonderful lives she has created and in doing so, she has discovered what really matters in life.
