Reviews

[Katya · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought it was a very touching story but was at times predictable and unconvincing.

[Linda Hobson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Extremely good read

[Margaret Hislop · Rating 3 out of 5]

Poor editing

While the story was fine it was spoiled by poor editing. Full stops in the middle of sentences spoiled what otherwise was a good read.

This author never disappoints me - I love reading her books. She writes romance/saga novels mainly about Liverpool.

As always with Lyn Andrews I loved this one, but I did think it was a little slow paced at times and rather predictable in places, but never the less a good read!
