whopping read, absorbing but annoying September 9, 2008
In the end I decided the book was rather frantic - one minute you were being asked to accept something was exciting and wonderful and then you had to discard that notion. Any sequel might again be a farce like run of misunderstandings and secrets - however, it is absorbing and does keep you riveted, just perhaps not very worthwhile!
 A Right Riveting Read! April 2, 2008
This was my first Penny Vincenzi book and it certainly won't be my last. I was a bit worried that the politics side of it would be too heavy going for me (not being very knowledgeable in this department), but she actually made it easy to understand the goings on within 'The House', and actually quite enjoyable.
Although it was quite easy to work out who the parents of Kate were going to be, it was a good storyline and really well written.
Definitely recommended and my next job is to read the reviews to determine my next Penny Vincenzi book!
Fairly predictable but still a good read January 11, 2008

The story revolves around three traveling students who become good friends and happen to quite unrealistically meet up later on in life. One of them abandons a baby at the airport after their travels when they were young and the reader is not told until later on in the book which one it is. Even though there are various points in each characters story to make you think it could be them, I felt it was quite obvious who it was from quite early on. I also guessed other twists in the story before they happened but I won't give too much away by saying what they were.
I still quite enjoyed the story but it is nothing out of the ordinary.
 Thinking of abandoning reading it! August 6, 2007

I have read all Penny Vincenzi's previous books and have been 'saving up' this one as a special treat! I'm about 100 pages in and, although I have only ever abandoned reading two other books in my life, I'm seriously wondering whether to waste any more of my time on this one. I am fed up of reading about her personal views of the terrible state of the NHS and the government - I'm not the biggest fan of either but really don't want it constantly being rammed down my throat when I'm trying to escape from the real world by reading a novel.
Really disappointed by this one - hope she returns to her usual form for the next one!

I have read all Penny's books and loved them all but this one. Normally her books leave me not wanting to put them down but unfurtunately I found this hard to pick up.I think it was plainly obvious from the onset who the father was and found the book quite boring. About to start on her latest novel hope she is back on form.
