Why I didn t really like this book1 It could and should have been 300 pages Instead, it dragged on for 627 2 The author gives away important information early on in the book Unless you are quite slow, you are going to know who the Mother and he Father of the abandoned baby are and you will be waiting rather impatiently for like 400 pages while the rest of the characters figure out what you already know.3 I didn t like the writing style The author jumps from character to character rather abruptly [...]
Simply amazing The whole book was just one huge adventure, never quite sure of what was next It was truly a heartfelt book, with human flaws so clearly decipted, but instead of feeling horrified, you cannot help but feel pity and love for them Instead of wanting to strike out at them, I just wanted to protect them with a hug, telling them that it all will be okay Especially Kate.I loved this book, and it was definitely not what I expected Not by far, and frankly that s a good thing Sometimes if [...]
This book should be retitled The Never Ending Story Holy lord I thought it would never end It wasn t necessarily BAD but it may have been a lot better as a movie Lord knows it was long enough to be the actual script In an approximately 620 page book, I didn t get into the story or anything that seemed fun to read until about page 420 Even the ending was disappointing If I m gonna read a book this long I want the ending to be wrapped up in a pretty little happy ending bow No such luck Save yourse [...]
I enjoyed this and would recommend it, but it wasn t quite as intense or riveting as the description let on It was a good, solid read but was lengthy and drawn out than I would have liked I m between 3.5 and 4 stars on this one.
I have liked the other couple of Penny Vincenzi books that I ve read, but not this one Overall, I felt like there was very little plot and the book 626 pages has about 300 pages too long I got really annoyed with the constant switching back and forth between characters Sometimes you d only read a paragraph before moving on to the next character I also didn t really buy the character development, especially Clio and Jocasta And if I had to hear Kate say cool one time, I was going to scream Vince [...]
Sex, politics and a devastating secret Penny combines these elements with the search of a sixteen year old girl for her birth mother, resulting in a novel that is both intoxicating and deeply moving This is the story of three very different women prickly, independent Martha, impulsive, fun loving Jocasta and sweet, self effacing Clio who meet by chance at eighteen as they re about to embark on several months travelling, and how, seventeen years later, their paths cross under extraordinary circum [...]
Overall this was an okay book But it was much too long At around page 150 you can easily guess who the mother and father are Unfortunately, I just didn t care after that and that made for a very long read.
Two people who make life worth living Nette and Penny Vincenzi The former introduced me to the latter, and thank God, because a beach isn t a beach unless you re sitting on it with a deliriously trashy PV tome in hand.
It was a bit dragging especially at the beginning I think it would have done without all that political talk But then once the story began to form, it was much better.
I m putting this on my read shelf since I don t have a it was too boring and I couldn t stand it so I gave up shelf
This book is about three teenage girls Martha, Jocasta and Clio that happen to be traveling in the same circle, establish a relationship and travel together for a bit and how their lives turn out.Clio is a doctor and in an unhappy marriage Ugh.Martha is a successful lawyer, a bit unemotional on the outside and nabs a hot younger man.Jocasta is a reporter with a commitment phobe boyfriend.Kate makes her entrance onto the scenee was born at an airport and left by her mother It is interesting how s [...]
SHEER ABANDON OF ALL YOUR HOUSEWORK I have seen a lot of negative reviews of this novel and felt I just had to review it to redress the balance I have read every Penny Vincenzi book right from her brilliant first novel OLD SINS and this book did not disappoint either I have recently read a few books that didn t seem up to my normal standard and become a bit bored and so I really needed something good to get my teeth into I bought this book and, as I usually do just before I start a book, I read [...]
I enjoyed this book and first time read by this author, but I thought even the storyline outlined in the jacket cover it would be a little intense Maybe it was the British reserve of the author.After a gap year trip, one of the three main characters Jocosta, Clio and Martha gives birth in the London airport to a baby named Bianca Sixteen years later the three meet again by chance and the beautiful young woman is searching out her birth mother All have careers and liaisons of some sort Each of t [...]
This was an excellent book It took me a little time to get into it, but after the first bit I couldn t put it down There are quite a few characters, and I admit I was referencing the character list at the begining of the book But, Vincenzi brought all of the characters to life The plot twists were great and usually unexpected I really liked her overall approach and the way it as written, especially how the reader knew a baby was abandoned, but it was unclear which character had abandoned the bab [...]
Holy mother of Moses, this book was too long As I m sure most people did, I figured out Kate s parentage in the first few chapters and spent the rest of the book feeling thoroughly annoyed at the fact that the author insults the intelligence of her readers by acting as though her plot isn t terribly transparent for another 500 pages.I give this book than just one star because I did appreciate her skills at developing characters that readers can identify with.Other than that, don t waste your ti [...]
I wish I could say that this book brought me joy to read but no The first three chapters started well, going from Kate to Martha, Clio and Jocasta finding out who they were and the main story line , who was Kate s real mum Then it went down hill as we went through back stories and present day problems I think the main problem with this book was the 632 pages, way too long it would have made a brilliant book under 350 pages as you lost interest half way through as the story was not entertaining e [...]
This novel was difficult for me to get into I probably would have given this a 2.5 star rating if possible It could have been the political arena that it was based in as I have no interest in politics The characters were difficult to grasp at first but once I figured out everyone s role in the story then I had begun to enjoy it When he big secret is revealed I was able to figure it out before hand , I began to wonder how the author would tie it all together for the ending I wasn t disappointed [...]
A long read for what amounts to not too much plot It seemed like the twists and turns were there often just to provide reading hours and prevent you from getting the answers the main mystery which was laid out in the first few pages You, the reader, put the clues together very early and then it s just a frustrating wait to find out how the characters unfold the truth you ve known for pages After 600 pages, you d think the ending would be a bit realistic, but then again, it is just a beach read [...]
This book could have been good And I wanted it to be Unfortunately, it was super freaking long, and not in a good way, like you wish books you LIKE were never ending, but in a horrible way similar to rush hour traffic or the wait for your vacation to finally get here During part three, I got the distinct feeling that she ended the book SEVERAL TIMES and then thought or wait, let s add another twist Ugh.
I had high hopes for this book I really enjoyed the author s Lytton family trilogy I found most of the characters in this book both unbelievable and unlikeable and the plot was disappointingly predictable.
This story of Sheer Abandon had me in tears One thing for sure about Penny is when she writes a book she does give vaule for money by giving a story of plenty of pages to read I have read lots of Penny Vincenzi books.
there s coincidence and then there contrivence then you can foresee whats coming nextis is definitely a romantic novel way too much fluff for my taste.
The never ending book the pages surely could have been cut in half and nothing would have been lost from the book
This book was just okay It was pretty long and very predictable It s about 3 young girls who meet at Heathrow airport right after high school because they are all going backpacking in Thailand Most of the book takes place in present day 16 years later when they all live separate lives One of the girls had a baby on her return trip from Thailand and left her in Heathrow aiport In present day, the girl is 16 and trying to find out who her mom is The 3 women s stories all reconnect and you find out [...]
Liked this than I thought I would when I started the book Follows three women s lives in current day London who seemingly have nothing to do with each other, but are linked by events that happened when they were on the same flight to Thailand 17 years earlier for their gap year A primary storyline was about British politics, which I know absolutely nothing about and found a bit confusing and dry The other storylines were interesting, although I did find the ending a bit frenetic with Jocasta a [...]

I read this a few yeas ago and enjoyed it I might have to read it again to refresh my memory but she writes well and I have a lot of her other books to read.

Good book, slightly dumb plot lines.
Good book I read this book because I m adopted It was good in that sense The book has lots of depth and unpredictable parts.
