Product Description

Review

Praise for "The Pursuit of Happiness":
"Kennedy cannot help but write grippingly, and he weaves threads of love and betrayal into a thrillingly masterful ending." -- "Observer"
"This is the novel against which the rest of the year's output demands to be judged." -- "Express on Sunday"

The Times (Culture) 19th October 2003

'It is an exceptionally powerful study of motherhood as nightmare, and a first-rate court-room thriller.' --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you're a man, don't bother!, 31 May 2006
By 
N. Higgs "nina's room" (kent, uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Special Relationship (Paperback)
I thought this book was excellent....I stayed up till 2am to finish it (a rare thing indeed being the mother of two small early rising children.) This book IS about post natal depression, but not just that...i'ts also about relationships, the fact that Sally had given up everything to live in a foriegn country....finding a home, job, friends, all while pregnant and in a very short space of time. I won't spoil it for anyone but if you have kids, suffered PND, then read this book!! Reading a good book for me is entertaining, makes the time pass and stops me doing housework. This book is all that and more! Plus, who cares if things aren't 100% accurate? (aka the breastfeeding incident mentioned by a reviewer) great writers are just that.....making great works of fiction, not fact!

4.0 out of 5 stars Gripping read!, 8 Sep 2003
This review is from: A Special Relationship (Hardcover)
Having read Kennedy's previous book, The Persuit of Happiness, in around 3 days I decided to give this one a go too and see if it was as good as I hoped. I was not dissapointed, although it is a little heavy going in the beginning, half way through the book there is a excellent twist and had me gripped all the way to the end. It was an excellent follow up to his previous work, I read this one in 2 days! Definitley recommend it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An impressive piece of work, 21 Sep 2005
By 
Peter Ross (Falmouth, Cornwall UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Special Relationship (Paperback)
If you had told me before I started reading this book that it was about a woman suffering from post natal depression I would not have even started to read it. But I am really glad I did as once started it is impossible to put down.

How a male author can convey the feelings of a woman in this situation is amazing, and only a woman can say whether it is convincing, but it certainly had me hooked.

Thank you for one of the best reads I have ever had.
