A comfortable life in Franklin, Massachusetts, for Dinah Steward, her scientist husband and their two sons is a promise. But their career move from England has not eradicated a secret that may undermine this comfortable life forever. Clare Higgins is a gifted reader. There's never a question of which character is speaking because she is thinking as that character would think. She shifts accents and vocal tones easily without making anyone sound unappealing. She enters the mind of every character and presents their feelings with clear sympathy. J.P. An AUDIOFILE Earphones Award winner. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

5.0 out of 5 stars
Touching story-beautifully written from the heart.,
By Mary D. Mctevia "book addict from the age of 3!" (Northern Michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: A Simple Life (Audio Cassette)
Rosie Thomas's story of a mothers love for the child she gave up for adoption is heartwarming. Her shame of this secret eats away at her until she finds the courage to do something about it. Her characters spring to life and are so real you can "see" them. In this audio version, Clare Higgins switches from character to character with ease and panache. Dinah's life comes full circle, and I'm so glad I was along for the ride. A must!

A Simple Life,
By Penny M (Bath, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Simple Life (Paperback)
I've read many books by Rosie Thomas and thoroughly enjoyed them - all very different though, but all remarkably well researched. I enjoyed A Simple Life too, but not one of my favourites by her. I found it a little implausible in parts and somewhat predictable. I bought it on the basis of rave reviews by other readers, so was slightly disappointed. However, if you're looking for a good read, which is not too taxing, then this will be good for you. Maybe a good one to put in a suitcase to read on the beach.
