To be honest I wasn't expecting much from this book; when it was first out I picked it up and put it down a few times but then I ended up with it somehow a few months ago and I decided to read it as it was thinnish. So, I am very pleased to say that I really enjoyed it! It's not such a deep book although it brings up important issues about the mother-daughter relationship but it is a fascinating study of a maturing woman who has, to all intents and purposes, been the perfect wife and mother who is now living, with her much older elderly husband in a retirement village to wait out the end of his days. This sets her into thinking about her future and what she'll do when he's not there and then we delve back into her past life; a life that was suffocating and enlightening, from which she ran and ran again, always searching until she met her husband. Is Pippa starting to feel that restlessness again? One thing is for sure, life is full of surprises! As is this heartwarming, humourous and entertaining book.
