Reviews

Wickedly entertaining…This polished novel is about a slippery second marriage but first and fifth ones will recognize the conjugal territory that Buchan so glitteringly explores

The Times

Quirky and poignant… hard to put down

Seattle Times

A depth and understanding that will take your breath away. In the end, this is a story of compassion and forgiveness

Country Life

A high-class, guilt-free soap opera one can savour without the television remote
