Product Description

Product Description
Sonia Garrs is 55 but doesn't seem it. She is a cheerful and confident ex-wife, and a confessed shopaholic. Fran Topping, ten years younger and married to a farmer, couldn't be more different. What brings this unlikely pair together is Jason, boyish and handsome, a perfect innocent diversion.

From the Back Cover
Sonia is the model of an ex-wife: smart, confident, determinedly happy. The odd tricky day afflicts her, of course; but then she has her little diversions to fall back on. Fran - wife, mother, rearer of chickens, cleaner-up of household dirt (her own self-description) - is haunted by the past. Two unconnected and disparate women - until Sonia drives into the back of a young man's car...and meets Jason. Jason, the unlikely link between the two women is engaging and handsome; he is also, privately, in search of something. Lover? Mother? Or prey?

Dark, witty and suspenseful, An Innocent Diversion is a novel of considered brilliance.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting book with a hopeful conclusion, 20 Nov 2002
By Sue "Sue" (Cyprus) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Innocent Diversion (Hardcover)
Sonia always dresses immaculately, and keeps her house spotless. She is kept in high style by her ex-husband David. Fran is a farmer's wife with two daughters; her adult daughter Heather works in Sonia's favourite shoe-shop. One day Sonia bumps her car into that of Jason, a young bank employee, and then befriends him.

The plot alternates between Sonia's life and Fran's life, as they gradually draw closer and eventually meet. Various emotions are explored along the way. The whole book is written in the present tense, which seems very odd at first, but in fact works well. The characters are charming and believable, with an interesting and unpredictable plot. An enjoyable read with a hopeful conclusion.
