review the Ballroom cafe by Ann O’Loughlin

Two sisters Ella and Roberts O'Callaghan living silently in their mansion and unable to pay the mortgage. The two having fallen out over a family tragedy and now not speaking after many years. Ella opens a cafe in the Ballroom. Debbie visits the cafe and starts to help out while searching for her birth mother. I found it a bit disjointed at first but once I got accustomed to the time shifts I found it an excellent story. Sad in places and not really a happy ending but a very engrossing read, a tale well told.

review a summer affair by Elin Hildebrand

I don't think I have read any books by this author before but I will be looking for others by her.

Her characters are really realistic and her descriptions of Nantucket made me feel I was there. I enjoyed too how she described the interiors of houses etc. And a plus was the description of the glass making carried out by Claire. The main story concerns how giving in to feelings and carrying on an affair can cause stress to all parties on so many levels. The jealousy felt by Claire when she saw Lock out with his wife and daughter and her knowledge that she was never going to have that was described beautifully showing the distress that can be caused by a moment of madness. She also demonstrated by writing Justin's character as a person only interested in the mundane of TV programmes, albeit a good father, that in his way he was instrumental in the potential break down of the marriage
