Product Description

Product Description

Malta 1968: Sylvana Bonnici's parents are dubious about her marrying Rob Denton, a British army staff sergeant, but Sylvana dreams of being an army wife and travelling the world – in mini skirts and big hats, like Jackie Onassis.

Sure enough, Rob is posted to exotic places like Singapore and Gan Island … but, unfortunately, the army dictates that he must leave behind his new wife. Sylvana has little choice but to live with her parents, who have moved to the UK.

In 1971 Rob is finally offered a UK posting and the married quarter that Sylvana has yearned for – but is no longer sure that it’s what he wants. Sylvana’s reaction to his new plans shocks him, but it’s a horrifying accident that proves that home is more than just a place to live.

This is a short story 56 pages long.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great quick read 31 May 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sylvana Bonnici is 23, living in Malta with her parents and deeply in love with dashing soldier Robert, who's stationed on the island. Despite some opposition from her father - and the fact that Rob is about to go on deployment - they get married and when Rob returns, he has a nice little surprise to get used to. After a move to England, a horrifying accident helps him to see that his home is with his wife and daughter. Spanning the years 1968 through to 1971 and set in Malta and the UK, this is full of typically well-rounded characters, who speak and think like real people and who you, as a reader, immediately care for. Sue evokes the time and place superbly, with an insiders eye for Malta and a few well-chosen pop culture references and this helps to bolster the emotional content of the story. Told in a slightly different style to her novels - this was originally a magazine serial - this is nevertheless a great read and highly recommended.

The amazon blurb tells you pretty much what goes on in this tale, from 1968 til 1971, when the family is faced with a big change to how they've been living. BUT, it felt as if it was all about Rob, Rob and only Rob, with Sylvana and Elena being add-ons.

I didn't feel as if I knew him, as I did Sylvana, as he was never there, but what did shine through in this tale is old fashioned family values and love and loyalty. It didn't seem a professionally edited tale, as there were typos and a name error, but it was readable, though a bit...mundane.
