Susan Wells Bennett

I thoroughly enjoyed this chick-lit book, which took me no time to get into. It is instantly an effortless read with a likeable array of characters that you get to care about. Don’t be fooled by the hint of predictability early on – it gets thrown off balance soon enough, so which girl the boy is going to get is a mystery for a little longer. The author leaves no questions unanswered, you are left happy with the fate of each character and the ending is simple, but conclusive. This is the first book from this author I have read - Susan Bennett has a pleasant, easy-going style and her characters are well portrayed. I will certainly be reading more from Susan.… (plus d'informations)

This is the second book by Susan that I have had the pleasure to read and it did not disappoint. Susan’s style is, as ever, warm and compelling and this story evokes a gamut of emotions: delight for a young couple and their young son in their new post-war life, worry for the naïve, but well-intentioned young father as he precariously treads dangerous waters, fear for an innocent mother, who is given no choices, admiration for the strength and resolution of this young woman and awe for the compassion and kindness she selflessly gives others, despite her own losses. And finally, happiness for the final peace and contentment she finally affords herself.

In other words, this is a rollercoaster ride, that leaves you wringing out your emotions.

Superb.
