A five star for the wonderful storytelling of Mary Wood. I wasn't planning on reading this book just yet, I have so many on my pile to read, but be warned.... Once you start reading , it will have you wanting to turn the pages to find out what is going to happen next.
The story has some wonderful characters that you can't help but feel for. It is set during World War 2 and 1963. Theresa is mentally disturbed with the events from the war, it tells the story of her consequences.
Theresa is mugged, and has her bag stolen, and inside lays her soul to bare for Lizzie who has it in her possession after her brother stole the bag. The story turns very dark involving drugs, and through Lizzie we discover Theresa's feelings and what happened to her and her love in the war.
Without giving anything away the ending had a twist that was so unexpected. Mary is such a wonderful storyteller, she says it how it is, and is very gritty, and wonderfully put together. I can't wait for her next novel!

I didn’t enjoy this at all. Way too far fetched. No less than 3 couples meeting for first time and knowing they were “the one”. There were too many characters and it just wasn’t believable

At first I found it confusing who was what and who was related to who. It wasn’t till I got halfway through that I found it more interesting and found out who was related to who.

I realize this is the fourth in a series. Had I not looked at the other editions, I would not know that. Just started.
UGH!!! I cannot finish this book. NO Spoilers but some content too disturbing for me, the way it is portrayed so casually. ~

The final chapter
I enjoyed this one and thought it a fitting end to a great trilogy. It brought together all the people I had read about and tied up all the loose ends. Thank you Mary Wood for being a good story teller.
