PRAISE FOR CATHY KELLY: 'An absorbing heart-warming tale.' COMPANY 'The gap in the market left by Maeve Binchy packing away her laptop has been well and truly filled by Cathy Kelly!A soap opera of tears and laughter.' DAILY MIRROR 'Warm and delightful' New Woman 'A compulsive read' Woman's Weekly 'Cathy Kelly's new book is her most compassionate and compelling sor far.' Irish Independent 'Not only one but two likeable heroines! Kelly dramatises her story with plenty of sparky humour' The Times 'Totally believable' ROSAMUNDE PILCHER


Product Description

The new warm and engaging novel from the bestselling author of BEST OF FRIENDS. Fairy godmothers exist, even in the tranquil hills of Ireland! Once upon a time, in the beautiful town of Carrickwell, lived three women. Three women who thought they had life pretty much mapped out. Ambitious Mel had a high-flying career, caring Daisy wanted a child with the boyfriend who was everything to her, and hot-headed Cleo was ready to step into the family business once she'd finished her hotel management degree. Until the landscape shifted and it all came tumbling down. Now Mel's job comes second to the guilt of being a working mum-of-two. What should be the most natural thing in the world for Daisy becomes the most torturous. And Cleo has to watch the cherished family business crumble along with her relationship with her parents and siblings. Suddenly everything the three women have always worked for, always desired, looks in jeopardy. But Carrickwell is a magical place. Nestled in the shadows of Mount Carraig, it's as ancient as time itself. And the opening of the new Clouds Hill spa by Leah - a woman with her own secret turmoil - is destined to cause ripples no one could ever have imagined. The arrival of Leah brings change for Mel, Daisy and Cleo - and the courage to find out what really matters, always and forever...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stress-free chick lit, 2 Jul 2006
By O. Doyle "celticshedevil" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Always and Forever (Paperback)
I've read and enjoyed several other Cathy Kelly books and I always keep a good chick-lit book on hand for when I need something light and fluffy. Always & Forever fitted the bill perfectly.

The story follows the lives of three women all linked in some way to the town of Carrickwell. Mel is a career woman who's finding it increasingly challenging to juggle work and home-life and the guilt that comes with being a working mother. Daisy & Alex have been together since they were in college and now Daisy's longing for a baby has reached new heights. Just as she feels the timing is right Alex drops a bombshell. Cleo is newly-graduated from a hotel management course and is determined to put her knowledge to use in getting her family's hotel business back on its feet but classed as the baby of the family nobody seems to take her comments into account. Then her plans and dreams are shattered.

This is one of those light and fluffy books that you find yourself engrossed in. It's perfect for reading while snuggled up in bed with a glass of wine or while lying by the pool on holiday. It's not taxing on the brain but just a nice, sweet story that sucks you in so you feel you know the characters personally. It's thoroughly enjoyable and gets a big thumbs up from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent,an enchanting read, 24 May 2005
By A Customer
Cathy Kelly reminds me of Maeve Binchy. But she does not just copy the style of Binchy , she builds on it.
Both authors have a great talent for capturing the spirit of todays modern woman in Irerland.
Three woman, all with diffrent pritoies , outlook on life and all living in the 'tranqiul' country area , outside of Dublin.
It follows the tale of these women, in a warm and wleocming story, with the superb balance of comedy and drama. There is the real bittersweet taste of Binchy in the novel, but with charctersation which I think is far better, and a lot of detail.
You finish this book thinking you know these women, feeling for them, and even wishing them well.
Certainly an excellent summers read, and highly recomended , paticualry now if you can get it in hardback, with a lovely lace bookmark it looks pride of palce on a bookshelf.

3.0 out of 5 stars Formulaic chick lit, 11 May 2007
By MaryAnne "dubai-reader" (Dubai United Arab Emirates) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Always and Forever (Paperback)
There was nothing exciting about this book. Tediously formulaic, we spend the first 200 pages being introduced to Cleo, Mel and Daisy, each with their individual problems. They eventually meet at Cloud's Hill Spa, a luxurious retreat that has opened in their village. The proprietor, Leah, an impossibly perfect woman, is the catalyst who guides them to solve all their problems and move on in their lives.
A predictable, easy read, but not earth shattering.
