Publisher Description

Best-selling children's book writer Angelica is amused and flattered at the attention of Jack, the owner of a vineyard in South Africa, whom she meets at a dinner party. With his easy charm and reputation as a ladies' man, Jack makes her feel good about herself - surely it can't do any harm to indulge in a mild email flirtation?

"Beautifully written story of a woman searching for the meaning of happiness. She thought she had it as a wife and mother, only to see another path through a relationship with another man. Yet in the end, she came back to her family and saw her life and relationships with renewed perspective."

    " Hugely disappointing. Angelica is a writer, a wife and a mother, unhappy with her life. Although she loves her husband, she feels he flirts too much with other women (he does) and that he ignores her too much (he does, but he is a busy banker, who tries to make up for it whenever he can). She meets a man from S. Africa who is relentless in his email flirting with her, continually asking her to visit him. She has a chance to go to S. Africa for a book tour, so jumps at the chance to see him. She stays with him at his house - with his wife and child!?? He hints that his wife knows he is having an affair, and hints he has had other affairs, and that his wife just doesn't say anything to him about it, because she is not a "possessive" person. However, Angelica notices his wife looking sad and wistful much of the time. Angelica discovers that her lover is dying, and has been having affairs because that is what he wants to do before he dies! And his wife just puts up with it, because...you guessed it...he's dying! What total rubbish! Of course, Angelica is "different" than the others he has cheated on his wife with. She is "special". He "really loves" her. Easily the worst book I've read in years. "

    " Angelique, an authoress, feeling not appreciated by her husband,enters an affair with South African winery owner who meets her in England while visiting. The beginning of each chapter has quotes pertaining to happiness that has meaning to each chapter. Very good story. "

    " I was rather disappointed with this latest offering from one of my favourite authors. The book is finely written with attention to detail that is so characteristic of her books, however I didn't engage with the characters and skipped through to the ending. "
