I was swindled, hijacked and completely brought down (laughing, that is) by this delightful, kind-of-chick-lit-ish, novel. The first couple of pages got me so enthralled; I couldn't, nor wouldn't, nor did I want to put the damn thing down. I felt as if Laura was a dear friend of mine and I was living (vicariously) like a fly on her proverbial Provence wall. The writing is 'spot' on! I loved the brevity of sentences, the use of word choice, the writer's voice rang clear and as confident as a `blimey' bell! I adored the relationship, all of them, (Julia, especially, absolutely fabulous) the trysts and turns and the unexpected expectations of Laura's adventures kept me reading, actually in one sitting. Well, done, Helen. When's the sequel coming out? I'll be waiting!
