Critic reviews

"I loved this novel so much, even though it’s probably the most heart-breaking story I’ve read all year...it will totally absorb you and capture your heart." ( That Thing She Read)
"I absolutely loved this book and couldn’t put it down. It has all the ingredients for a perfect read: fantastic, loveable and very real characters, an emotional and compelling storyline, and a brilliant setting in time and place." (Louise Douglas)

Nothing comes to mind I enjoyed how it can to its final destination for all the characters.

The journey of love and life’s blessings.

The three books were beautifully narrated and the story line was very sweet and bit like Mary Jane Staples x

Loved every minute

I liked the story & enjoyed the story of family life & friendships that prevailed throughout. Found the voices & accents somewhat irritating most especially Rita's & Matthew's...

Lovely story of family & friendship...

I love the way they also managed to incorporate the storyline from book one and thread it through book 2. The narration in this book was much better, slower and more space between sentences and the start of new paragraphs.

There was one particular time where the speed was reminiscent of book one, although after a few paragraphs she slowed down again.

Beautiful, but inevitable ending although I’m looking forward to reading book 3.

Thank you.

Great continuation of story line
