This is my second Joanna Trollope novel, i am so hooked. It took me about a chapter to get into the book and familiar with all that was going on then i just could not read fast enough. The whole plot of the novel is a judge who has been married for forty years and starts having an affair with a younger attorney which lasts for seven years. He tells his wife he wants a divorce. She does not really know how to handle it, so she just doesn't! You will find out how this happens in the story. Her two sons who are grown meet the "other woman" and they like her. The judge is a man you will like-- you will not like so much the wife. The "other woman" is a beautiful calm and smart woman. Nothing like his wife. All the judge wanted to do was marry his mistress, all his mistress wanted was to marry the judge--- and then all of a sudden in matter of a couple days nothing is as it was planned to end up. I am now looking for another from this author that i am positive i shall enjoy.There was suspense, no mush, and some twists and turns that made this read wonderful,As i got nearer and nearer to the end i kept thinking, "this can't be happening, there are still some more pages and time for things to change" never really saw the end coming.
