Helpful Score: 3

I see from others' reviews that several people gave up on this book at the beginning. It does have a slow start, showing the negativity the main character's wife shows after investing all her time and energy into her career, and becoming resentful of her husband, who was out of a job and enjoying spending time at home. They also had self-consumed teenagers, all living in a house of resentment and detachment. All too realistic and not too fun to read about...but don't give up on Pilcher!
It was a delight to see him broaden the characters, and show them grow into caring people who embraced their family once again and reached out to give to others, after moving to Scotland...And the ones who stayed selfish got what they deserve...I love a good moral to my stories! These characters were such a delight to read about, and the hope it gives to families is heart-warming. I gave it five stars.
