Three and a half stars
Two women, Sarah and Emily, find a diary written by their mother, who is in care and in her last days. As they start to read, it becomes evident that the Elizabeth in these pages is vastly different to the mother they know and love. They had always thought their parents had the perfect marriage and were the love of each other’s lives. But the diary talks about another man their mother loved. What happened to him? They keep reading to find out what happened. To begin with I wasn’t totally enamoured of this short novel but then as the story progressed I became more interested. This is a gentle romance but it has a bit to say about how a person can do the right thing and still be ostracised by a community. I enjoyed this love story, although I thought the ending seemed a bit rushed. I did get a little teary at times
