5.0 out of 5 stars A poignant look at a family situation of our times, 12 Feb 2002
By A Customer
The problems of a modern 'step' relationship examined with depth and feeling by Elizabeth Buchan. Why hasn't this wonderful author been better publicised? I discovered her quite by chance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story, wrong narrator, 29 Nov 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Perfect Love (Audio Cassette)
I liked the story very much, however I wish I'd have read the book rather than listened to the storytape. The story centres upon Pru, who is married to a man 20 years her senior. Pru is very happy in her marriage (even though it is a little humdrum) until she meets her stepdaughter's husband, Jamie, who is her own age. There is an instant attraction between them and this quickly turns into lust/love as they embark into an unplanned affair. As Pru's husband, Max, begins to suspect that something is going on, Pru must choose between the sure and steady love of her husband and the uncertain future with Jamie whom she undoubtedly loves and who loves her in return.
I didn't much care for the choice of Lesley Duncan as narrator. I thought her voice too unvaried and lacking the strength required to hold my attention properly. I love talking books, but in order for them to have an impact on me, the right narrator must be chosen. Unfortunately, in this case, it wasn't to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the back cover..., 8 April 2007
Twenty years of marriage to older Max has seen a busy, contented Prue though the stresses of a resentful stepdaughter and motherhood. Now, Violet has returned with her new husband from New York and, suddenly, Prue is precipitated into a secret life.

The small village in Hampshire and the city are very different places and, as Prue now moves between the two, she traces the boundaries between innocence and difficult knowledge, between the gluttony and surrender of desire and the stark realities that result.

Pinpointing the battleground of the modern--and second--marriage, the author offers a blisteringly truthful and tenderly observed picture of the extraordinary bargains and accommodations that are struck between people who love one another.
