Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Childhood friends Cassie, Aileen and Laura are bound by ties forged at Saint Imelda's girls' school in Port Mahon, Ireland. From the outset, they are an endearing trio, but it is Cassie Jordan's story that drives the plot. The eldest of five children, Cassie is forced to make sacrifices-taking a job that offers security but not much excitement, caring for her aged mother-while Aileen, Laura and others move in and out of Cassie's life, offering glimpses into other worlds. The story moves to Dublin and London, from the world of banking to the backbiting arena of gossip columnists, making for a tale that never falters as Cassie finally is freed to pursue her own life. Scanlan (City Girl) keeps her readers involved through a supporting cast that adds humor, glitz, romance and plenty of spice. Part of the novel's charm is its study of the contrasts between a quiet village existence and the demands of modern life. This tale of one woman's determined efforts to find herself will have readers cheering both for the heroine and the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazing read!!!!,
This review is from: Finishing Touches (Mass Market Paperback)
One of the best books I have ever read. It has all the elements of a future classic. The characters are well written and as the story goes on you become one of the characters. Scanlan can make you cry with the characters as they go through growing up and becoming adults, as well as showing what real friendship and love is all about.

By A Customer
This review is from: Finishing Touches (Mass Market Paperback)
The book was basically about friendship between three girls - Cassie, Aileen and Laura.Once I started the book I found it hard to put it down. The book covered the three girls' friendship over a period of time. Patricia Scanlan is one of my favoutite authors - I have read nearly all of her books and love them all.
