Summary
On the other side of the ocean, Izzie's Aunt Anneliese discovers the pain of infidelity for herself. Her husband, Edward, has been having an affair with her best friend, Nell. Devastated and angry, Anneliese is facing the realisation that she is now alone.
When Lily, the matriarch of the family, is taken ill, the family must put their own problems aside. Izzie, intrigued by her grandmother's past, begins to discover things she never knew about wise, calm Lily. Annaliese feels despair build as Lily, the one person who could have helped her, starts to slip away. And the lessons each of the women learns - past and present - bring both joy and heartbreak. They are lessons they will carry with them forever.

Beautiful story
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. The narration was perfect, and I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen to each character.

Too many characters. Very chic lit!
This is mostly a nicely written book, but it is truly very sweet chic lit and somewhat over egged. Choc lit is not my cup of tea, so inevitably, it's not really for me. I love Aoife McMahon's narration, that and Annalisa's story kept me with it until quite late chapters, when I could no longer cope with the smaltz and returned it. For me there are too many characters. I found the stories of Izzy and especially of Annalisa interesting, but I'd just be getting nicely involved and we would be off on a tangent elsewhere. It felt like two books in one for me.

A bit OTT for me
I found the writing a bit too over descriptive it was irritating especially the 'love making' parts. Narration was good but that's about it.
