When I See Your Face is a well written good story that draws one in right from the start. Cathy is a young woman who has been married to an abusive selfish husband, Mark Nolan. One day she finally finds the courage to pack her suitcase and leaves. She ends up in a remote small friendly village where everyone still has time for one another. Cathy is trying to pick up the pieces of her wounded soul, but alas she soon runs into a man who is the spitting image of her ex-husband! However inside artistic and kind Michael is the total opposite of Mark and Cathy is trying very hard to ignore her confusing feelings and close her heart not to get hurt again, especially so soon.What follows is a realistic heart warming story of one woman trying to let go of the past but how can she if the man she is falling for shares the same face as someone she is trying so hard to forget?This is a very well written story and I loved the detail and description Ms Fernando uses to make us feel we're there with Cathy. This is not just a simple romance, girl meets boy story where you can guess what is going to happen next, but an intriguing well told story with suspense that makes you want to read on. A lot of women, I think, can relate to Cathy and this story goes beyond the physical attraction and is actually very romantic and sensual and works with deeper issues such as letting go of the past, being independent and trying to trust again to be able to love.I especially loved this line: “Don’t hate when you can love instead.” This is so true, even though sometimes it takes a lot of courage to do so if all you've ever received and known was hate.Well done, Ms Fernando! I will be looking out for more books by this author.I received a free copy for review purposes. Review by Natasja Hellenthal, author of 'Call Off The Search'
