Romance A pleasant, light read that moves back and forth between 1901 and 2012 and the troubled stories of our two protagonists. The characters are complex and are just slightly unlikeable, which makes them interesting. Still, the reader ends up rooting for all of them, and breathes a sigh of relief at the happy endings. I found this a book I kept hurrying back to so I could see what was going to happen, and also so I wouldn't lose track of all the threads. It was a complex and engaging story, set in two time frames. I thought the interweaving of the two stories was very well done. I found myself drawn into both Libby and Isabella's stories. Though there were similarities in their characters, they were excellently differentiated by their historical time frame. I found both women engaging, flawed enough to be real, and endearing enough to have me longing for a resolution to their search for peace of mind, happiness, and love, and their freedom from the men in their lives who had used and abused them. The story raises issues of morality, and the consequences that flow from choices and behaviours. I did think it ended a little too abruptly, and that some of the lessons Libby and Isabella had to learn could have been explored more thoroughly, but these were there for the reader to reflect on. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"In 1901, a ship sinks off the coast of Lighthouse Bay in Australia. The only survivor is Isabella Winterbourne--escaping her loveless marriage and the devastating loss of her son--who clutches a priceless gift meant for the Australian Parliament. Suddenly, this gift could be her ticket to a new life, free from the bonds of her husband and his overbearing family. One hundred years later, Libby Slater leaves her life in Paris to return to her hometown of Lighthouse Bay. Living in the cottage that was purchased by her recently passed lover, she hopes to heal her broken heart and reconcile with her sister, Juliet. Libby did something so unforgivable twenty years ago, Juliet is unsure if she can ever trust her sister again. In this adventurous love story spanning centuries, both Isabella and Libby must learn that letting go of the past is the only way to move into the future."-- P. [4] of cover.
