Format:Paperback
The Daisy Chain is the perfect book to curl up with by the fire as autumn arrives. It isn't romantic in the sense of escapist, although there are lovely lush descriptions of the texture of life in a fairly comfortable tax bracket. Suzy, heroine and artist, is gradually becoming disillusioned with her husk of a marriage to Stephen. He's maybe almost too dislikeable but I think the account of the end of their affair, in particular the way Suzy reassesses their life together after discovering something mean he did in the past, is very well done. Money, as Campbell shows, often represents something else. Max is the hardcore romance, Suzy's original love, married to somebody else, but constantly on Suzy's mind. A novel for grown-ups, with a truly romantic ending you feel you've earnt!

this is a story of susie who marries her best friend instead of her 1st love. a decision she has to re think 25 years later when she is hurt in a burglary. it turns her life upside down. she discovers more about herself and the nature of true love.
i found it an extremly good book with real life experiences and the moment i opened the book i could not help thinking about my marriage and those men that slipped through the net.

Format:Paperback
The heroine of this story is settled, middle aged and middle class with children grown and flown. A violent attack precipitates revelations which unravel her life and force her to confront the consequences of her past choices and take action. The novel is gripping, compulsive reading - more than a poolside page-turner. The heroin realises she is in charge of her own destiny and finds the courage to act accordingly. The book is ultimately all about the continuous process of adulthood.
