It’s
the last night in October 1999 and the clocks are going back. Will and Ella are
teenagers at the fair with a group of friends and that’s where their love affair
began.
Fast
forward through marriage, children and empty nest and life suddenly takes a
jolt for Ella. She remembers back to the night when she first met Will and
recalls bits of a conversation with a woman in a green coat and red scarf. Facing
a crisis in her marriage, Ella has to confront the past to see if her marriage
has a future.
I
am really mixed about how I felt about characters in this book- there were
times when I loved Ella’s strength yet there were other times when I found her
really annoying and irritating especially when she spoke to Robin – she seemed
to regress into a teenager.
Will
and Ella’s friend Cole was another enigma for me – he was a constant in their life
and almost a cuckoo in the nest, but no one seemed to notice and there were
times when I really wanted to shout at him.
Saying
all this, the story was a compelling read, and you turn the pages wanting to
know what’s going to happen next. There was a part near the end that I wasn’t
expecting and when I read it, it felt like a body blow.
This
book kept me gripped right up until the last page!
