Another lovely book from Cathy Kelly; not all sweetness and light, but stories of people with the kinds of serious problems that have been experienced in various forms down through the generations.
Sid (Sidonie) has been living with the fallout from something she experienced fifteen years ago and has shaped her way of life in such a manner that she is able to cope. She doesn’t think she will ever have a romantic relationship with a man but is happy when she finds someone who wants to be friends without asking more from her.
Marin has an interesting job, a handsome husband and two children she loves dearly and appears to have it all but she also feels responsible for her dysfunctional siblings and she has a secret addiction stemming from her feelings of not measuring up to her beautiful women friends.
Bea suffered the unbearable loss of her young husband in a car accident the day before their son, Luke, was born and she has been trying to be mother and father to Luke for the ten years of his life.
Cathy Kelly steers the three women through a period in their lives where they face, and eventually solve, their different problems in different ways. Her warmth, wit and humour make this an entertaining and easily readable book.
