Product Description
When Lisa Martin and David Kirby were forced to part, they never dreamed they might one day have a second chance. Many years later, they meet again and it is clear that, despite everything that's happened to them, they are still the big love of each other's life. And nothing is going to keep them apart this time around. But then they are faced with a shocking truth.
However, David won't be defeated. In spite of knowing this is a battle they can't win, he decides to fight anyway, in the only way he knows how. When Lisa discovers what he intends she's so horrified. Yet, through a chink in her fear, she can see the logic of what he's suggesting. But can she bring herself to help him...?

It is very hard to write your opinion on this book without majorly spoiling the main plot but I will try my hardest. I have always been a fan of Susan Lewis and find her books often have a very real and harrowing storyline and this one is no different.
The book is a little bit of a slow starter as we are introduced to all the main characters such as Lisa, David and David's daughter Rosalind. Although slow to begin with once you have a real feel for the characters the story progresses with hints as to the major problem they will both be facing.
The issues that the book covers, and the reality of it for the characters, are written with real feeling and are very descriptive. From this perspective I think Susan Lewis shone and although the book is not the typical `feel-good' you may expect it is written with incredible sensitivity.
The story itself is very believable and will be an eye opener for people that know nothing about the subject matter. Although I wouldn't go as far as to say this is her best work it's certainly not awful. I think the fact that it was quite slow was one downside. The only other real negative I found was the abrupt turnaround in the character Rosalind towards the end of the book.
All in all the story and characters were good but the story itself a little sad. I felt that the ending was okay although maybe it could have ended very differently had the author wanted to follow that path.
I certainly hope that Susan Lewis will produce a much better book next time as some of my favourite books have been hers such as `Missing'. This book wasn't bad but is certainly not a reflection on the sort of books she can produce.

How brave Susan Lewis is in tackling such a difficult and unglamorous subject as dementia. The disease is portrayed very sensitively and realistically in quite a beautiful way. Susan is able to vocalise the concerns many people have about the illness and follows through. Her portrayal of David's insight will stay with me and help me understand better what some of my patients and their families are going through.

Having read all of Susan Lewis novels this is not one of the best. I found it very hard to relate to Lisa Martin as the main character of this book. It was very hard going at the beginning but I had to read to the end to find out what happened. I hope the next book will be as good as earlier ones.

A beautiful love story.
