Product Description

Review

'Fabulous...An evocative and entertaining read which deals with the tensions that can arise at weddings between modern day families'
--THE IRISH POST, 23 August 2008 --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Product Description

There's nothing like a good wedding...to start world war three! And that's exactly what's going to happen if Connie Adams, the mother of the bride, can't smooth things over between Debbie and her dad. He's hell bent on bringing his stuck-up second wife and their sulky teenage daughter to the big day, but Debbie would rather walk up the aisle of a supermarket than have them at her wedding. It's the last thing Debbie needs right now - her boss is making her life hell and she's starting to suspect that her fiance's getting cold feet...So will they all live happily ever after, or are the whole family heading for divorce? --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really enjoyed it!, 7 April 2008
By Zara (Belfast) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Forgive and Forget (Paperback)
I have to agree with another reviewer here - this is Patricia's best book so far. I read it on holiday and could hardly put it down. She deals with the subject of weddings and families really well and also she depicts older female characters very well too. I felt really sorry for poor Judith who at fifty is spiteful, resentful and discontent because she feels life has passed her by while she's been taking care of her mother Lily and has no help from either of her siblings. You really understand why she is the way she is by the end of the book. I also really liked Connie, first wife and mother-of-the bride and I liked melissa, the teenage step sister of the bride for all her naivety and rebellious teenage ways. The run up to the wedding was narrated really well and I enjoyed reading about the actual day. I would give this 5 stars but because it 'is to be continued' I removed a star. How can I wait a whole year to find out what happens next??? It's so frustrating!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than ever!, 15 April 2008
By Sissel M. Østdahl "smaureen" (Norway) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Forgive and Forget (Paperback)
Dare I say that this is Patricia Scanlan's best book to date? I think so. From page one I was drawn into the story and completely hooked. Not a dull moment. Pure joy all the way.

Not that the story itself is all bliss. Connie and Barry have been divorced for years. Barry is married again to Aimee and has 13 year old daughter Melissa in this marriage. Now Connie and Barrie's daughter Debbie is getting married and the event leads to a myriad of complications in the two families. One of them being Barry's renewed interest in his first wife, whom he left so many years ago...

Aimee is a tough, self-sentered career woman, with business trips abroad, designer clothes and no time for cosy family life.

First wife, Connie, is her opposite. A nurse, she has raised Debbie single-handedly and created a nice little home with a heavenly flower garden for the two of them. Neither money nor time has allowed for fancy clothes and pursuing a svelte body over the years. Connie appears a bit frumpyish and middle aged, and has seemingly lived in contented celibacy, until now!

There are other people and destinies to be met in this rich and fulfilling tale, which is not your regular chick lit but a wise story about life and love, regrets and new hope.

The book is excellently written and filled with humour. Always a bliss. A golden moment is young Melissa and her best friend Sarah's participation in Debbie's wedding, described with much insight and tenderness. Ah, to be 13 again, with your whole life ahead of you (and posters of Johnnie Depp over your bed...).

The book is not neatly wrapped up in a happy ending. Expertly, new threads are being woven in and create expectations for joys to come. Joys we are invited to share, the last sentence being - To be continued.

I can't wait.

1.0 out of 5 stars I feel tricked!, 24 April 2009
By A. Stidwill "astidwill2" (Auckland, NZ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Forgive and Forget (Paperback)
Although I enjoyed the book I was furious when I got to the end and read the three little words... "to be continued...". I bought a book, not half a book and I certainly didn't feel that the story was strong enough to continue in another novel. I was starting to wonder about halfway through why it was so slow and wondering how she would finish in time but I have to say, had Scanlan just pulled her finger out and got on with it, she could have written one great book instead of two mediocre ones. I like to have the choice of which books I buy, not be tricked into buying a second because the author felt like spreading the story out and earning more money off a second book!
