This is the first book by Joanna I've read, and absolutely loved it. Cannot wait to buy a copy for my mum! Although some of the characters may be a little too close to home..... utterly brilliant and believable characters; funny, sad and heartwarming all at the same time - highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this novel and raced my way through it wanting to know how it would end!!
I have read other Joanna Trollope novels and am amazed how she can portray various relationships and people with such understanding. This book explores many issues. I love that the characters are finding love in their sixties and that with that many different complexities are involved.

Rose has fallen in love at 64 much to the dismay of her three adult children who have been used to having their mothers full attention since their father left her fior his work colleague.
Tyler is a widower who has returned from America to London to support his actress daughter when he meets Rose who he has known since childhood.

All the characters are brilliantly written and observed. The complex issues of family, relationships, trust, independence, people pleasing,stepchildren , finance and love are all explored beautifully.

As an older woman I resounded that sometimes relationships may not work out even if you love someone and would throughly recommend this fantastic book. Great writing Joanna Trollope.

Another excellent book from Joanna Trollope. It addresses the issues that face women today. It is a story about family relationships and tensions. An easy to read feelgood book
