“What really sets this novel apart is the author’s descriptive skill.”
Jane Cable [below], author of ‘The Cheesemaker’s House’
“Rose Haldane discovers she is adopted when she and her sister Lily are clearing out their mother’s belongings after her death. Rose, a journalist, sets out to discover her natural parents and Danby keeps you turning the pages as Rose’s past gradually unfolds. Meanwhile Lily is forced to come to terms with the fact that her failure to conceive may be more do with her genes than her diet or her uncooperative husband. “What really sets this novel apart is the author’s descriptive skill. As a reader, you are at Rose’s elbow on the floor of her mother’s bedroom; you can taste her grandmother’s homemade cake and feel her tears. There are moments of lightness too, wry smiles created as Danby brings Rose’s frenetic working environment to life and when Lily discovers her husband’s secret.”

Thx Miranda! SD
I don’t have a kindle and need to get a copy of your book! Ugh. Sorry I keep forgetting to order a copy.
You know I resisted a Kindle for so long, but now I don’t know what I would do without it. I find I wear my reading glasses to read normal books now, but with a Kindle I don’t need to do that: just change the type size and brighten the screen! 🙂 SD
Yeah, I guess it’s time.
Congratulations on this wonderful review, Sandra!
And congratulations on the 81st pre-order! 🙂
Yes it is a great review, please share! 🙂 SD
I’ve finally got round to pre-ordering my copy (on a break from revision 🙂 ) Good luck Sandra!
Thx Bibi! 🙂 SD
