1 out of 5 stars Unmemorable   September 1, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I persisted with this book far longer than I should have - I could have been reading something worthwhile. Ploughed through to the half way point, expecting that something interesting must happen soon (no), not at all interested in what happened to any of the dull and one dimensional characters. I eventually skipped to the end to see what happened, which was what I was expecting. Saved myself a few hours and can now move onto something I might actually enjoy. Disappointing.


5 out of 5 stars Pleasurable and absorbing   July 28, 2008

A charming, enjoyable book with a thoughtful slant on morals and kindness. The slips between two time periods were handled proficiently and without jarring. For me it was a relaxing, happy read with much to feel at home with. I live near the area and the descriptions of the lanes, villages and people were all well drawn. Not a book to discuss at length but one to pass on to a friend with the knowledge that you are giving them a treat.


2 out of 5 stars Nothing special- borrow it, don't buy it!!   July 26, 2008

This is a very average book- the type of story you have read a dozen times before. A beautiful heroine on the rebound tries to write a book and 'find herself' in remote Cornish village. Two men fall in love with her then the dastardly ex wants her back... Ooh, what is going to happen, who will she choose? Who really cares?? Oh, and a flimsy sub-plot involving a beautiful servant girl...Very disappointing.

I was disappointed with this book given the previous reviews. I found non of the characters engaging and the plot beyond predictable.

I read this book because i was getting bored with the usual girly reads and i'm so glad i did! This book is amazing. The descriptions are fantastic, not too long that you get bored but so accurate you can picture yourself driving through cornwall and digging the garden with them! I love cornwall so the combination of the area and the history behind the house is great. I loved the way the book goes between the past history of pearl, the hidden secrets behind their lives and the love story interlinking it all! The final chapter was enough to make me reach for the tissue box! A great read which leaves you wanting more and more! Read it cause you'll love it!
