4.25 stars This novel is mostly written in the past, during a time when women were expected to keep the house and let the man be the head of it. On the outside, it looks as if Jennifer has the perfect life. She’s married to a wealthy man and has a beautiful house. She keeps up appearances, but wh...
This book was a bit of a disappointment. First off, I do not like books with characters who are supposed to be sympathetically committing adultery. There were options even back in the early 1960s. Outlander is my exception because it was either marriage or torture and her husband was 200 years from ...
This is the second novel I've read by JoJo Moyes. While it was a good read it didn't compare with Me Before You. In 1964 Jennifer wakes up in a hospital bed to find out she's married to Lawrence Stirling, a wealthy powerful businessman and is told she lives life in the circles of the social elite...
Or...HOW TO LOSE A LOVER!!This was a rather heartbreaking tale of lost love.

A married woman falls in love with man and then people and fate keep them apart for most of their lives.I love this book two thirds the way through and then I struggled to finish the last third. I truly believe this could have been a wonderful work of art, had the author introduced the characters fr...
Jennifer Stirling is a typical 1960’s housewife. Typical, that is, for her social standing. She feels she does nothing but decorate her husband’s life, but then that’s what all her friends do as well. Then one morning she wakes up in the hospital, remembering nothing about the accident that put h...
I like Jojo Moyes. Last year at Christmas, I read The Girl You Left Behind, and I loved it. When I finished, I went straight to Amazon and put a few of her books on my wishlist. This book was one of them. I had been saving it for the perfect moment. That moment came this week. I was having a h...
Missed chances and enduring love and LETTERS. Love letters. Wonderful look at the culture of marriage and fidelity in the 1960s and in London. Despite heartbreak and a huge amount of frustration, this was an entrancing read. 4.5 stars.
