Far from Over [Audiobook, Unabridged] [Audio Cassette]

Sheila O'Flanagan (Author), Kate Binchy (Narrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 2001

Gemma Garvey's marriage has been over for ages. And it was Gemma's choice to end it, her decision to go it alone with two kids, rather than pretend her marriage to career-obsessed David was working. So why is she so upset when he marries that flame-haired bimbo, Orla O'Neill? Is it that Orla is nearer to Gemma's teenage daughter's age than to her own? For Orla, being wife number two isn't all she'd imagined. And the trouble has only just begun...

Review

'Highly readable' -- Express 'An insight into modern-style marriage... a rollercoaster ride through lives of affluence and destruction' -- Irish Times 'Well written, down to earth and honest' -- Woman's Way 'The appeal of Sheila's books is obvious; they have a romantic, feel-good factor, they're funny and she doesn't shy away from dealing with troublesome emotional issues' -- Irish Post

3.0 out of 5 stars avid reader, April 30, 2004

This review is from: Far from Over (Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book. I picked it up because I had been reading all of Maeve Binchy's novels and I was rapidly running out of them. This book was on a display table with some of Maeve Binchy's work at the bookstore, because they are both contemporary Irish women authors. I found thir writing styles similar, and I found myself really engrossed in this novel by the end. I would recommend it for anyone who has read Binchy and enjoyed her, and I am pleased to have found another Irish author that I can enjoy as much. I am currently reading another one of her novels and I plan to read them all. It is satisfying escapist literature at it's best.

I have read many of the author's books, but I think this one is the best I have read so far. The characters are well written and you can feel your feelings for the characters change throughout the book. The novel ties in the thoughts of all sides and you feel more as though the situations are real, and you are a friend hearing about it first hand. Great chick lit read!
