Surprisingly Flora, the heroine of the novel, doesn't dominate and allows some crisply drawn minor characters to emerge. I expected to enjoy this book, for it to be one which would make me think. What I didn't expect was that I would find it a real page-turner and which will bear rereading before too long.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Lovers of Pound Hill by Mavis Cheek]].
For another book where the widow finds herself without quite so as much grief as would be expected you might like to try [[Benny and Shrimp by Katarina Mazetti]]. If you'd like another book where art plays a major part we can recommend [[The Madonnas of Leningrad by Debra Dean]].
