Changes

After escaping a disastrous marriage, Katherine Walsh travels to an island retreat in Wales in order to pick up the pieces of her life, relax and decide future direction. However, rest and recreation isn't all she discovers. During therapy sessions her ancient past is unlocked and odd happenings that have haunted her for years start to make sense. Katherine also realises that it may be to her benefit to learn how to trust a man again but the chance of love isn't her biggest surprise. She appears to be pregnant so any decisions she makes about her future must include the new life within her.

Actually ''The 49th Day'' is a complete leap away from the legal profession. It's also deftly seasoned with New Age spirituality but in a way that isn't intrusive, ensuring that even Reiki avoiders like me can enjoy it. There's just enough to form a framework and an ethereal feeling (assisted by Welsh mythological sprinkles and the mysticism of the Irish) as Katherine escapes a dangerously demanding husband and tries to come to terms with the imprints that the past has left on her present.
