It's a sweet story about sisterhood and change. It was enjoyable to read. No overly racey bits, but good nonetheless.

A darling story of relationships, romance and closeness. There's no sexiness involved but an endearing tale of love and friends.

This was Luanne Rice's first book. It was a good story, but a bit slow. I still enjoyed it, however.

Great book. This is one of her first works.

Anyone with two (or more!) sisters will appreciate the author's exploration of the relationships between three Irish Catholic sisters. You will empathize with the situations and understand Una's heartbreak and undying love of her sisters. If you don't have sisters, you may not understand this book. I loved it as the theme and characters resonated with me. It's not a great book, but a goodone and one I'm very glad I read.

I enjoyed the relationships among the three sisters and some of the insights coming from those relationships. Una has her issues, but knows herself and what she should do to help herself. The coastal inn offered such a nice setting for parts of the story. An interesting and enjoyable book.

Great book on family ties and what happens when everyone grows up and loyalties change.
Helpful Score: 1
"The Cavan sisters are an inseparable trio." Of course, that can't last forever and it is the men who enter their lives- as well as the man who has left it- that complicate their relationship and change it. An enjoyable read though Rice has been sloppy with her background research. I found her Dutch character's use of German and his supposed Prussian-ness odd. As if Rice doesn't know the difference between Dutch and German. And no one ever got married in The Hague on New Years Day!

You feel what it is like to have sisters even if you haven't. Great story.
It was not as good as I thought it would be.
I liked this story romantic and humorous
Luanne Rices' first novel about three sisters and how their relationships evolve as they meet and marry their significant others. A humorous, insightful, true-to-life story.
good book, just didn't like the ending, guess it could become a series.
Three sisters together always and the wonderful men who join the group - each different, yet familarly alike.
This book was interesting, but not one of her best.
IF I HAD READ THIS BOOK FIRST I WOULD NEVER HAVE READ ANYMORE OF HERS,THANK GOODNESS I HAD READ SOME OF HER OTHERS BEFORE THIS ONE I FINALLY QUIT THIS ONE, IT WAS SO BORING.
Overall there were some flaws, but I still found myself enjoying this book and it's characters. Like all of her later books, the story of family and of relationships is prominent and it engages the reader. I think if you go in reading this knowing some of these things (especially that this is her first book), you won't be disappointed. However, I would recommend reading her newer books first (Dream Country, Firefly Beach and Follow the Stars Home) and her older books second- but I do think the older books (Blue Moon, Stone Heart) are worth the reading time.
not one of her best.
Great story!
What a delight to read this author's first published full length book. Having enjoyed her works for the last few years if was fun to see how she has grown as an author. On it's own the book was enjoyable to read and the characters and their antics thought provoking as always.
A book about sisters with special powers, and ghost of a father
I could NOT put this down. Great book.
Very sweet story, fast read. Luanne Rice's first book. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
Una Cavan doesn't believe in ghosts. But ghosts seem to believe in her. At least, her father's ghost does, walking into and out of her life as casually as if he were entering and exiting a room. Una has always believed the Cavan women had the power of witches...
A story that you would expect from a great author like Luanne Rice.
Okay, but then I'm not a big fan of Luanne Rice
This is an interesting story about three sisters who are very close. Una, the main character is a famous soap opera star whose struggling to find her happiness. Another one of Luanne Rice's great books!
story about 3 sisters and how their lives intertwine as they live their own lives. Great Book
The story of the three Caven sisters, Uma, Lily, and Margo, whose lives have taken different turns over the years. As always with Luanne Rice a totally heartwarming and engrossing study of human nature.
