Set against a vibrant sixties backdrop, this is the story of two bright young things: Eliza, an ex-deb making a splash in the world of fashion, and Matt, a working-class boy carving out a serious name for himself in property. Their story begins with a love affair, closely followed by a marriage, followed by a baby. But whilst their relationship is at first fuelled by passion, it's not of the enduring kind, and soon what started out with such promise descends into a harrowing divorce case and an epic custody battle. With everything at stake for both Eliza and Matt, and neither party willing to give up their little girl without a fight, it's high drama in the courts. Let battle begin...

I have read the 2 reviews of this book, one good, one not so good. I am 79% through this book and I can hardly bear to read any more too quickly, simply because I don't want it to ever be finished. For me, it is absolutely unputdownable, and it is Penny at her best.
I have read all of her other books you have for sale, and although one of your readers says her books all follow the same theme, that in no way detracts from the unbelievable skill this writer shows in them all.
I wish I could heap far more praise on the book in detail, but I am not qualified enough to write the skilled reviews many of your readers can - I can only say that I rate this book at 5 stars, and if there were more stars available I would tick them all.
I don't know how long it will be before another new one emerges, but I'll be first in the queue, and have no hesitation in buying it immediately.

Another Penny Vincenzi classic and well up to her usual high standard. I remember the Sixties well and can vouch for the accuracy of the fashions, the places and the attitudes of all her characters. Property dealer Matt, though not always likeable, is particularly well drawn and typical of that period. As a male reader, I recommend The Decision to any man who would like to understand more about the complexity of female emotions. Nobody writes better about relationships than Penny and she does so with compassion, humour and a sure touch. Not to be missed!

Penny Vincenzi's novels have always been one of my guilty pleasures so I pre-ordered this and saved it for my holiday. I never leave books behind in hotel rooms but made an exception for this one.
What a terrible disappointment. No plot to speak of, no likeable characters, a conclusion beyond dreadful - what WAS she thinking with that gymkhana chapter? You'll have to do an awful lot better before I buy another of your books again, Penny.

Loved this book. A real page turner !
Would love to see a follow up. I'm sure she could get plenty more out of the characters.

Excellent read
A really good read, as you would expect from Penny Vincenzi. The book is very thick so not so good for reading in bed. Enjoyed it and couldn't put it down.
