 One dimensional characters July 17, 2008

I was disappointed with this book given the previous reviews. I found non of the characters engaging and the plot beyond predictable.
 Amazing!!! March 2, 2008

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!
Well worth reading October 16, 2007

Despite an intriguing premise I was a little bit dubious as to how two sets of characters divided by a century might gel to a satisfactory conclusion. I need not have worried.
The story tracks the fortunes of Mel Pentreath, a lecturer who takes a sabbatical from her job in London to go to write and heal her emotional wounds in Cornwall.
A love story at its best. As a reader I found myself captivated by the story to find who, if anyone would win Mel's heart as she finds herself confronted with potential male suitors - both past and present. The story of Pearl, set one hundred years earlier is equally enchanting.
A fantastic read, great characterisation, truly unputdownable. One of those books that stays with you long after you finish reading it.
Loved it! October 7, 2007

I just loved this book!
After the first pages, I could not put it down, so I ended up reading an entire Sunday.
Hope to hear more from this author in the near future.

I bought this book for my summer holiday and had read it in the airport and on the plane by the time I got there!! Loved the characters, story and setting- the perfect recipe for a wonderful book. I would definitely recommend it.
