***NOT FOR RELEASE****

Mmm...was really looking forward to reading this one....but it left me feeling that the author was trying to make good on her previous brilliant/good books. But it was readable and towards the end quite enjoyable.

Blurb:

"Two women, two heartbreaking secrets. One life-altering summer.

They are intimate strangers, two young women in crisis who meet on a chance intercontinental telehone call....and exchange homes for a brief summer that transforms them both. One, the gregarious young wife of a rising Dublin executive. The other, an intensely private woman from a small town in America. For one season of pain and reckoning, they agree to trade houses, thousands of miles apart, each hoping to escape a devastating loss of her own. But in doing so, they will take on each other's lives, friends, and secrets, as they confront startling truths about each other ...and themselves."

RELEASE NOTES:

caught on the meeting in Arnhem, looks like a good read to take with me on some holiday

I liked this book very much. although it's more than 600 pages it never gets boring. good sketches of all of the characters... and happy ending for everyone. what more could you want :-))

I like reading books by Ms. Binchy every now and again, and I did no read this one yet.

I went to bed much too late for a few nights in a row, because I had to read on. Now I'm sorry it is over.

RELEASE NOTES:

I will take this book with me to the meet up this afternoon. It may find a new reader on the spot, or be left there, or somewhere between Langeboom and home, if I have to release it on the way back.
