Praise for Cathy Kelly:

She writes genuinely compelling stories with a sharp eye for detail and character.' Irish Mail on Sunday

'Kelly has an uncanny knack of drawing you in to each of her characters, emotionally attaching you to their journeys …'RTE Guide

A must for Kelly's many fans; a warm, moving read ' Daily Mail

'An upbeat and diverting tale skilfully told…Kelly knows what her readers want and consistently delivers.' Sunday Independent

'Kelly explores infidelity with searing honesty…I couldn't stop reading' Louise Bagshaw, Daily Mail

'Wise, warm, compassionate, full of characters that I loved and identified with, it's like having a great gossip with your best friends. Her best book yet.' Marian Keyes

'Entertaining, moving and as vivid as a screenplay - presents a picture of the lives of Irish women which, like all good fiction, brings the truth into sharp relief' Irish Independent

'Engaging reading for these recessionary times' Irish Times

Product Description

An exclusive short story for World Book Day from one of our bestselling authors

Sometimes all we need is a relaxing holiday in the sun.

For Anthony and Carole, a week in a lovely Greek hotel has helped them mend the cracks in their marriage. For widowed Jessica, it’s the longest she’s ever gone without visiting her beloved husband’s grave.

However when the flight doesn’t go according to plan, they are each forced to face up to the very things they have been avoiding for so long.

By the time they land, they have learnt important life lessons about themselves and each other which change them forever.

Not worth paying for 13 Feb 2011
By A Customer
Format:Kindle Edition
Very sweet book but far too short. If I hadn't paid amything I'd probably viewed this book in a completely different light but for a 10 minute read felt extremely dissapointed and more than a little cheated. A bit more like a summary than a book. Don't bother.

Format:Kindle Edition
This is a nice introduction to Cathy Kelly for those people who haven't read her before although I don't think it portrays her in the best light, her work does benefit from a full length novel.

A light, quick read that you can get through in a sitting.

Disappointed 3 Oct 2010
Format:Kindle Edition
This was one of the first 'books' I downloaded and I couldn't have been more disappointed. It was far too short and I feel cheated. I'm extremely reluctant to buy any other books in case they are only 30 pages long, which in my opinion is nothing more than a short story.

This is one of those slim, read in a day or two books and perfect if you are having a long weekend away and don't want to get into a full sized novel. Read more

Amazing
I usually read crime thrillers but I saw this book and I thought I would give it a go and I am so glad I did, couldnt put it down.

Don't pay money for this book!
Do not waste your money buying this book. It took me an hour to read, there is no story to it and a waste of time. Not even worth calling a short story.

A very qick read!
I enjoyed this quick read, and it has to be a good sign that I wanted to know where the characters went from there.
