Another Good One By Cathy Kelly - By: Mrs. L. A. Smith, 25 Nov 2008 
With a 5 hour train journey to & from Scotland & London to fill I had to pick my reading material with care so I took along the newest paperback by Cathy Kelly. I thoroughly enjoyed this latest installment by the irish authoress & liked the way that it brought together the 3 experiences of adultery that the main characters lived through.
I particularly liked the way it linked the story of Grandmother & Grandaughter & how through flashbacks it told the similarity of their stories, taking through to a poignant ending which sees the grandmother pass away.
A cracking read - another fantastic Cathy Kelly novel & well worth the money
It's OK but only OK... - By: Love Books, 23 Sep 2008 
This is the first time I've read a Cathy Kelly book, & judging by the comments of other reviewers, it's not one of her best. It's perfectly well written, but I couldn't empathise with any of the characters, & because of that I didn't really care what happened. There was nothing to keep the reader hooked, no build up of tension, & some of the descriptions of people were quite contradictory so you can't get a clear picture of what's going onin your mind's eye. It's one of those where I had to force myself to keep going. It's not bad, but not one I'd recommend.
Lovely way to spend a wet Sunday - By: Mimzi, 01 Sep 2008 
I was scouting around the house looking for something to fillin an atrociously wet Sunday, & remembered someone had lent me a pile of books amongst which was this one. I had not previously read any of Cathy Kelly's books, or even heard of her, but I am very glad I have made her aquaintance.
Once started I couldn't put it down, I read until I got to the end. I thoroughly enjoyed it, although the story did jump about a bitin time it was much easier to keep track of than several other books I have recently read. I liked the characters (well almost all, surely no one could like Sybil) & could so easily picture them from their description & it brought the book to life for me. It also gave an insight into the horrors the medical profession had to cope with during that war & their valient efforts to help those almost beyond help & I found it very movingin places. It was good to know the matron did have a heart. Even the stranded whale was very topicalLessonsin Heartbreak
I will certainly be on the look out for more books by this writer, I found it entertaining, amusing & thought provoking, what more can you ask for light reading?
Not worth the money - By: Jennifer, 23 Aug 2008 I have to say, although is overall i good attempt, its just not enough for me. I skipped a lot of pages & just went to the end because was too boring. Didn't seem realistic or funny & just made me feel sad. She got 2 stars for effort as all the Lily pages were good, but that is only 33% of the book. Good for extreme boredom, but not highly recommded.
Cathy Kelly does it again - By: E. E. Brennan, 05 Aug 2008 This book is essential reading for any female that has ever experienced the sadness of a break up. The book teaches us that not everything you take for granted is as it seems & there are unexpected twists & turnsin the story. Strength, compassion & the ties of family & friends are highlightedin the book which although not intellectually challenging does give us all some food for thought. I read this bookin 1 day as I lifted it & literally could not put it down. Every woman should read this book at least oncein their life.
