Review: Disappointingly unfinished

Authors as well known as Fiona McCallum can get away with lots of things in novels, but this time I don't believe the ending worked. In fact, there is no ending! If Ms McCallum is writing a followup to Saving Grace, then I doubt she will get the readers back. Not only do people who read prolifically often forget which books they've read - I do from time to time - but having been burned once, they are not likely to give the author a second chance.Although the premise of the novel is good, though traditional - woman leaving husband and finding herself - I feel Emily is too negative and too stubbornly silly - readers will know what I mean by this comment - and deserved to miss out on - again you will know what! No spoilers! Suffice to say, the dog was the most sensible of the two of them.All in all, the characters were not really fleshed out, minute detail absent, the plot skimmed the surface with the whole truncated. Not Ms McCallum's finest work, in my opinion.
