Helpful Score: 1
We read this book recently in our book club group. Everyone in the group really seemed to enjoy this book, myself included. I did notice a few errors by the author (swapping the names of the main characters, Vivian and Claire in several places throughout the text) and everyone in our group had some examples of themes that didnt carry through the book or were left unexplained as far as significance to the story.
However, it was quite an enjoyable read and the shortcomings can be overlooked, thanks to the two compelling story lines and lives of the main characters. We noticed that, while living in an earlier era, Vivian led a more modern life than Claire. However, they had some significant overlaps as far as circumstances in their lives keeping them from the men they loved.
A few in our group guessed the connection between Vivian and Claire before its revealed at the end of the book.
