Our Review

Beautifully written with a captivating charm this story is as uplifting as it is heartbreaking.

I have loved all Jane Costello's books and her lovely fresh humour manages to shine through in her first book written as Catherine Isaac. This provides a welcome balance to the heartbreaking storyline about a woman called Jess who is struggling to deal with the fact that her mum has an incurable and debilitating disease.
Her mum's wish is for Jess to encourage her son William to build a relationship with his father Adam whom she had split up from just after William's birth. Jess reluctantly books a holiday in France where Adam is living so that father and son can get to know each other better.

What follows is a beautifully written storyline with descriptions of the Chateau and cottages that were so vivid I felt like I was there. I could almost taste the delicious food and rich wine and smell the flowers in their pots.

Watching the relationship between Adam and William grow was as much a joy for me as it was for Jess and I can't wait to see who plays Adam in the film as he sounds gorgeous.

The descriptions of the awful illness were skilfully intertwined with flashbacks from Jess's childhood which were able to show how much the disease had taken away from Jess and her mother but one thing it didn't take away were the happy memories they'd shared. I found the relationship Jess had with her mum beautiful and their precious memories very poignant.

This book will take your heart and smash it to pieces but will also fill you with an uplifting sense of hope and a sense of how important it is to live every moment as if it's your last.
