I was riveted to this book. It was a really good story and I found myself really connecting with the characters. However, I thought that the all the problems in the book came together too soon and too tidily.

A veeeeery slow start to this book - so slow that I almost gave up on it. Too much repetitive character development in the beginning. (Not that character development is bad - but pointless repetitiveness is.) Once the poop hits the fan, however, it's almost as if it's a different book. The characters suddenly come to life, are dynamic, and actually DO something in response to their situations. I liked it about halfway through, although the end wrapped up much too neatly for my taste.

This is the first Cathy Kelly book I read and now I wonder what took me so long?! Even when I had a few friends constantly telling me that I should try her. As one of these friends said, it reminded me of Maeve Binchy in her good days.Four different women with different lifes and problems, everything seems real and we are just transported to their day to day. It wasn't a difficult read, quite by the contrary, but 634 pages seem a bit too long...More Cathy Kellys will follow, that's for sure!

4 women from the same family deal with their own relationship and life issues. An easy to read, enjoyable book.

Another romantic story about a family learning to cope with their problems. The thing about Cathy Kelly is, there isn't a writer who could write more predictable stories, but somehow she completely gets away with it, because she writes with so much warmth.

Readable story about a family where everything seems to be coming apart at the seams. The Parents appear to be in a happy marriage but what you see on the outside isn't always the whole story.Their three grown-up daughters have to deal with their own issues and lives as well as their parents'.
