Belinda is such a lovely character but Is forced to wear no colour and no way think about ever moving on from her late husband. Though she gets work in a book store which brings exciting experiences.

the characters in this book were very well described and from all walks of life. the story is well planned and written and really highlighted life in those times and made it come real. The story lines were of a positive nature despite the hard times
The characters were faced with. A great light story with a great twist . A nice thought provoking easy read.
