I really liked this emotive story.  Margaret is let down badly by her fiance after he comes back from a business trip and finishes their relationship after admitting to an affair with the woman waiting in the car outside.  Once Margaret is over the shock she realises he wasn’t much of a lover or a loss anyway but it still doesn’t get rid of her urge to have a child before it is too late.  When her employer offers her a short contract in France she leaps at the chance of a breath of fresher air.  Little did she realise it was going to be the start of an affair which would have such consequences for her dreams.I don’t normally feel sorry for women who do the sort of thing Margaret does but I warmed to this character and felt every ounce of her pain as she went through one crisis and in to another.  Faith Mortimer really has the knack of a good storyteller and this novel actually got me a bit teary in the end as I felt so involved with Margaret’s story.
