A REAL PAGE TURNER, 19. September 2000

It seems that Jo has the perfect husband, the perfect family, a wonderful home and a great career, but she is willing to risk it all because she thinks that something is missing in her life. I found this story to be at times very realistic, as she describes her emotions and how she felt about her life, and her past. And yet quite disturbing as she goes after what she thinks will make her happy and the shocking outcome of it all.

I couldn't put it down!, 19. September 2000

From the very first page I knew I was reading something very different than any book I'd read before. The author's style of writing, pulls you in and gives you a vivid colorful view of a very disturbing mother and her daughter. Every character that comes into the story seems so real, and you become engrossed in their situations. I was especially overwhelmed by this book when I got to the parts about Claire. I was deeply touched by this character, but also frustrated by her weaknesses. Overall I would say I loved this book and will read it again. The only part I wasn't too happy about was the ending. Therefore I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5.
