Product Description

Product Description

After twenty years of marriage, Ben ups and leaves his wife Rose, their children and their family home in Dublin. Just like that: no words of regret, no compromise, no note - only a simple 'I don't love you anymore'. It has taken Rose all this time to get her life together again: she's brought up her three children, Lisa, Brian and Damien single-handedly, and not without difficulty for never again does she want to be completely broke, or to have to revisit that night in hospital with Damien hovering between life and death. To think about it just makes her shudder.

Now Rose is concentrating on her business, the 'Bonne Bouche' bakery, and all the clients she's won, all the friends she's made. Her accounts are in order, the business is blooming. Life really doesn't seem too bad. Until Ben returns, again without warning, and it is soon clear that he expects to infiltrate Rose's carefully created world in the most unwelcome of ways.

A stunning sequel to In the Beginning, Catherine Dunne's first novel, Something Like Love is an astonishing portrait of a marriage, and of how the ties that bind are sometimes there forever.

Praise for Catherine Dunne:

'The Walled Garden is that great rarity: a flawless novel'

Daily Express

'A hugely gratifying book; something to feed the spirit again and again'

Irish Independent

5.0 out of 5 stars unputdownable.., 12 April 2009
By A Mum (Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Something Like Love (Paperback)
I picked this book up at a second hand book shop, and started reading it on a Sunday morning, I finished it on the beach that same day. It is a fantastically written book that is extremely easy to believe. You get caught up in the life of Rose, the main character, along with her 3 chilren. Her husband walked out 8 years before and she has rebuilt her life, we catch up with her when he tries to walk back in and take what he thinks he's entitled to. The book follows her fight to keep what is hers, her family together and goes into detail about the relationship she has with her children and the people who she comes to rely on. I am now forced to order the rest of her books as I literally forgot myself and became part of the lead character's life, something that very few books make me do. Buy it, you won't regret it!
