RELEASE NOTES:

This one is going as a surprise RABCK to a fellow BCer....

Hope you havent already got it hon :o)

Oooh - how lovely - one of the very few I have not read - Well Done!!!

This is a lovely surprise which will be read very soon me thinks.

I could not resist picking this book up earlier rather than later - as I really enjoy a good Shreve.

I was not disapointed - and shed a tear or two too. I first cried while watching Dr Who on DVD (the one with Rose's father) - Dan thought the chlorine had got to my eyes in the pool!! Then I went up to finish this book in peace - and cried then too - then I read a whole other book (Sam's Letters to Jennifer) and blubbed through that one too! It was an emotional evening!

I won't spoil the ending - but this was a love story written alternately from the view points of the couple who had met at 14 for one week at a camp but the memory stayed with them always. They met again first exchanging letters then inevitably in person - and we are taken through the agonising decisions they made being drawn to each other and yet having families they were betraying at home. Maybe a lesson to those thinking of contacting people through Friend's Re-United - just don't go there!

RELEASE NOTES:

My parents are taking the books for me when they go for their 'seniors' discount lunch there.
