5.0 out of 5 stars Touched, 26 Feb 2008
By L. Rich (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've come to thinking one of the perks of a trip to TESCO is a quiet moment browsing the book isle (which only comes a close second to a nibble of something in the car on the way home). For a time I've felt mildly embarassed regardly this means of selecting 'literature', alas it works for me... and this is how I met Louise Candlish.

In fact, I'm sure this meeting only happened by the chance of a 'Buy two for £8' or similar offer, a chance well spent I'd say.

This is a story about friends, dear friends, with lives that mingle and divide, and its about a pact made of love and protection. I found the honesty and reality of these relationships roused emotions felt for my own close friends, and from there on in, I felt like I was wearing Rachel's shoes.

Rachel's solitary trip to Santorini gives time and space for the reader to empathise with where life is taking her, for the most part against her will. The overwhelming love, hurt, uncertainty, frailty, and spirit to evolve from being subject to them all.

I was relieved to find the reality endured through to the conclusion of the book, even when brought to tears, I'd rather have honest bitter-sweet than sugar coated.

One of the unique things about this book - given that it sits amoungst readers of lighthearted 'chick-lit' - is that it touched on things so precious, that it's stayed present in my thoughts, a reminder of the things in life worth investing in.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved, 23 Oct 2007
By Ms. N. F. Jones "Jajakapitan:)" (Chester,England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I loved this book. I bought it at the start of my holiday after reading a review about it in the Daily Mail newspaper. I am glad I purchased it, as it filled many hours on the beach and at night [I was camping on the IOW] and I became hooked. Louise Candlish touches the emotions well and handles the death of a child in such a way that she must be praised for. She encourages the reader to empathise with Rachel as she struggles to mourn the loss of her daughter and the setting in Santorini is brilliant.
I am a 16 year old girl and I would not really deem this as "Mum lit", but a read for anyone who has been affected by death or by any sort of grief.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous story, tenderly told, 15 Sep 2008
By Sophie (Exeter) - See all my reviews
I have read Louise Candlish's previous novel which I loved, but feel this one is possibly even better. A very tender story about motherhood and friendship which is brilliantly told and very difficult to put down. As I holiday in Greece every year, I also adored the Santorini backdrop! It is a very sad and heartbreaking story and without wanting to give too much away you will almost certainly need a box of tissues nearby. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Jodi Piccoult or Dorothy Koomson.
