Wow, the rave reviews for this book have me stumped. I thought that it was awful. Barely 200 pages long, I thought that it was 200 pages too long. Dull, simplistic, boring and written like a young adult novel. I was never drawn into the story and the characters never came alive for me. Eileen Goudge is one of my favorite authors, but this one was a rare disappointment for me.

I picked this book up because it had such a nice cover, but its story was just as beautiful. I came close to crying at one point which says a lot. It is a love story that is told through the diary entries of their mother before she got married. As the diary entries are read by her grown up daughters, a theme of how do you know who is the right person to marry and how well do you know your parents develops.
Terribly sweet and with great characters that I grew to love.
