On Coronation night in 1953 the expat community in Hong Kong gathers for a celebration party. While they strain to listen to the proceedings on a faulty wireless, twenty one year old Joy falls in love. She is engaged within twenty four hours but will not see her fiance again for a year.In 1980 eighteen year old Kate's rebellion is to run away from County Wexford with her illegitimate child.Fifteen years later Sabine leaves trendy Hackney to visit the grandparents she has never known, and finds that time in Wexford seems to have stood still.When Sabine, her mother and grandmother are brought together, a deeply buried family secret is discovered - as well as some fundamental truths; about the conflict between love and duty, about women's choices, and about mothers and daughters.Jojo Moyes effortlessly weaves a rich and vivid tapestry of character, time and place. The result is a novel about many different kinds of love that will make you laugh as well as cry, and sets the benchmark for a new generation of storytelling.

Overall, this family drama could have been better as the pace was really slow in my book and quite lengthy at times. Towards the end, the story panned out for the better with much action to boot. I honestly still prefer Me Before You 😅

This is JoJo Moyes's first novel. I wasn't sure initially if it was going to be for me but I grew to really enjoy it. It's not really a page turner, in the sense that it's quite clear early on where the story is going but I still found it a really enjoyable read.

This is Jojo Moyes' debut novel and it's a story about mothers and dauthers.. Three generations of Irish women, trying to find their way back to the unbreakable bond of the family.
I really liked the different POVs (and the different time sets) of the story, but I couldn't feel any simpathy for Sabine: her character was just a bunch of stereotypes.
