Precious Time [Audiobook] [Audio Cassette]

Erica James (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 25, 2001

In order that she may spend more time with her young son Ned, Clara Costello trades in her secure job and two-seater sports car for a camper van called Winnie. The three of them set off on a mystery tour of adventure. When they arrive in Deaconsbridge, a small market town on the edge of the Peak District, they soon become drawn into the lives of the locals. Two in particular seem destined to get under Clara's skin: Gabriel Liberty, a cranky widower whose family are so scared of him they keep away, and Archie Merryman, a local dealer in secondhand furniture, possessed of a heart of gold. While offering them both a helping hand, just to tide them over, Clara finds herself having to confront a problem much closer to home, and one she had hoped she would never have to face.

5.0 out of 5 stars great characters, August 13, 2004

This review is from: Precious Time (Hardcover)

This book was what I needed. It has travel components in beautiful settings in England. Very developed characters! You even get connected to characters with small parts (ie the watress in the cafe) The main character is very likable as well as the characters within the town she stops in. The book really does tell us the importance of taking time for ourselves and our children. I would recommend this book to anyone for a easy going summer read.
