Remember Me

by Margaret Thornton

1907.
William Moon's heart swells with pride at the achievements of his daughter, Maddy. When, at eleven, she won the talent contest held by the Pierrots on Scarborough beach, William knew it wouldn't be long before she asked to join their touring company. Now that day has come; his talented young daughter has grown into a fine young woman - beautiful, and with a voice so pure it would make angels weep. And William isn't the only man to notice - As Maddy journeys around the north of England with Morgan's Melody Makers, she makes new friends everywhere she goes. Now seventeen, she is eager to take her first steps along the road to love. But, as she is to discover, the course of true love never did run smooth, and her heart is taken on a bumpy ride as she experiences the highs and lows, the rapture and the heartache, of falling in love for the first time. Will her dreams of romance and happy ever after come true?

Continuing on from "A True Love Of Mine", the story of Maddy Moon and her family. A little predictable but a nice easy read, especially if you like Scarborough and Blackpool.

I just can't believe why the hell did I read this book. What I hate the most about this book? it takes her almost the whole chapter describing us the history of a certain landmark where Maddy goes. I suppose I bought a novel and not a damn tour guide book about Liverpool.

Tediously predictable - that will teach me to get a books from the Community Centre!
