The past can waitquick
Her books engage you totally If you haven t read any of Ms Burman s books then you are missing some exceptional reads I have no hesitation in highly recommending this book Kindle Edition Love this book Cheryl Burman has a talent for drawing you in and you can t let go till the end Burman has created a cast of well drawn characters you feel you know Readers of Keepers and Walking in the Rain have met some of them before New readers will feel equally at home and I think tempted to read the other two The landscape is almost a character itself She excels at description Maggie and Arthur s history and well meaning friends tangle them up in knots and distance doesn t help I kept telling them to talk to each other but they weren t listening of course Life and friends have moved on over the five years since they got together and so have they in their own way Both of them have other options which they are encouraged to pursue In typical Burman style she keeps us hanging on till the last page to see if their future is together or apart Cheryl Burman doing what she does best telling stories you can t put down Kindle Edition
