This is a paperback formerly in my personal collection of "keepers". However I'm presently re-reading it ready for release to Emscott10 for her mother. I'm gradually disposing of my keepers as I would rather they travelled on instead of gathering dust on my shelves and I have loads of new books that keep coming into my possession through bookcrossing and other means.
This one tells the story of Deidre and Desmond Doyle who are having a silver wedding party which involves their three children but each of the children are "nursing a secret wound or smarting over a hidden betrayal."

REVIEW:-"This is the second time I've read this book and I didn't really enjoy it quite so much second time around. I liked the story, and most of the characters generally but didn't think that a particular incident involving Helen early in the book (no spoilers) would have been very likely. I'm not sure that Helen would have been so naïve and yet able to tell such convincing lies on more than one occasion.
I enjoyed how the story evolved but thought that it all tied up a little too bit too "happy ever after" and conveniently in the end."

Reserved for Emscott10's mother.

This book will be given to Emscott10.

To the finder:-
Welcome to bookcrossing -you have found a travelling book. Please make a journal entry now to say where you found the book in case it has been moved. Then, when you have read it, please come back and make a further entry saying whether or not you enjoyed the book and why. It is now yours to do as you like with it, pass it to a friend or just leave it somewhere different for someone else to find and help it with its' journey. Of course if you can't bear to part with it at the moment then keep it, but please let me know that you have found it. If you join bookcrossing, which is free and spam-free, you can follow the book on its' travels as you will get an email each time it changes hands, but if you prefer to remain anonymous, that's fine too. Please also say what you intend to do with the book next. Thanks for coming onto the site to let me know you have found the book.

I already have books travelling in many countries around the world-a list can be found on my bookcrossing profile.

When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of. Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition
to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option.

Received from Daffodil-2 with thanks

Mum enjoyed this book but felt it was t one of Marve Bunch’s best books. We left it in Bawdswells phone box as a wild release.
