Lovely little story again by Mr Titchmarsh, not as good as some of his earlier work. It took a while to get the grasp of the backwards and forwards from past to present, but you do come a point it all falls into place. Worth a read whilst the evenings are drawing in and it’s getting cold outside!
This was the first Alan Titchmarsh novel for me, and I was delighted. Now I'm going through the list of novels; Already own a couple of his gardening books, and have watched several of his TV shows. Who knew he was so talented?
First I thought I will not be able to finish this book as I found the beginning really really slow. But somehow it started to be more interesting. And as the story moved on I realised I can not put the book down. Great story to read if you want to switch off.
I began reading this 10 years ago during my lunchtime at work. Had a hiccough - and decided to read it again this year - and finished it!Different from Mr Titchmarsh's other book - but an enjoyable read....
Really surprised that I enjoyed this book. Didn’t think I would because of the author. He’s good. Great family story with relationship twists.
Bit slow to start but couldn’t put it down after good story thanks Allan
EnjoyedA super read soft lovely story. You would never guess the ending. Perfect bedtime 📚reading. I am a Titchmarsh convert .
First time I have read an Alan Titchmarsh book and thoroughly enjoyed the intriguing mix of past and present. No swearing or overkill on the descriptive sexual appetites. Just a good read.
This is a Romeo and Juliet inspired story as the main couple have families that hold a grudge against each other. It is set against the backdrop of some very dull art dealing.I didn't mind this book but my attention kept wondering while I was reading it so it didn't keep me gripped.I didn't see how the book could have a happy ending as I felt too much had happened between the characters and their families so I felt the end was unrealistic. It seemed that if Artemis had not found out she wasn't r...
One of my favourite contemporary authors who writes a rattling good story. Loved this book, a tale of friendship, intrigue, deception and misunderstandings. Gripping from start to finish!
That was a pleasant surprise as I didn’t realise Alan wrote fictional books so borrowed this book not knowing what to expect and I am very impressed!!! The characters were strong and I liked the different timelines. Definitely read another of his books.
He might get knocked, but I do find Alan Titchmarsh's books enjoyable...a bit like a duvet day with a mug of coffee and a whole packet of jaffa cakes. Usual type of romance set within a feud between two families, the world of art and Oxford Uni.
I don't know why but I just love Mr Titchmarsh's books. They are easy to read and the storyline always grabs me. Fantastic.
I often enjoy an Alan Titchmarsh novel but this for me, was a little slow. I enjoyed the auction storyline but everything else fell a little flat.
This is full of 'If Onlys' and the inevitability of Love's Serendipity. In Oxford in 1949, the lives of four men and one woman were deeply intertwined... for they were all Art students and they were all good friends. They were about to go their own separate ways because some were about to graduate. Both Ballantyne and King were in love with Eleanor and she was in love with Ballantyne. Both Ballantyne and Eleanor spent one glorious night together... but came the morning after, Ballantyne did not
This is a tale of what I call a 'Then' & 'Now' story. The then is set in 1949 at Oxford University and 'Now' Bath 2007 with a few years in between. As with other of Alans books each chapter begins with a quote from other famous writers.5 students become firm friends 4 Males and Elenor who are reading art. We enter the world of art, painting, buying selling, auction houses. Elenour, and two of the males meet a well known artist before finishing at Uni. We follow the lives, loves of all 5 of the s...
