What I thought was an excellent family drama turned into something completely different as it neared it's conclusion and I was taken by surprise in a very enjoyable way. Passionate, real, and at times heartbreaking. I would thoroughly recommend this book to you all.-BOOKISH CHATThis book explores the way families can both grow and crumble, how close bonds can last and others wither and how love and loss can truly shape people . . .

A lovely evocation of time and place and a perfectly judged ending.-Joanne Sefton, author of IF THEY KNEWI was absolutely swept away by this novel and read it over one weekend, hardly putting it down at all. 1970s suburban England is brilliantly and expertly described and the incredible pull of the dangerous and the unknown for Jane was alluring and enticing. THE NECESSARY MARRIAGE is powerful and gripping. This author has a magical way with words that just engulf me. Her characters are perfectly formed, with flaws and foibles that just add to their strength and make them completely real for me. Bot. Codice articolo SONG1474606393
