I fell in love with this author when I picked up a couple of her books in London. Once I read them I had to read more. She is a wonderful storyteller. The book I ordered was a used book and I found it in excellent condition. I would definitely recommend this seller to my friends. Service was excellent.

Have read this book and quite enjoyed it. Charlotte Bingham's books are not as good as they used to be. I felt that this book was rushed at the end as though she couldn't wait to get it finished.

This was the book for last month's book club, and we all agreed that it is sugary, old fashioned, and not Charlotte Bingham's usual style. Not recommended!
