It's about Claire, a young woman who has an unhappy - and mystifying - end to a teenage crush on Jonas, the boy next door, as the story opens. We then flash back to her childhood, when her widowed mother first meets her stepfather Leo. The structure is slightly confusing - each chapter has a heading giving the month and year, which vary from 1980 - when Claire is ten - to 2006 when she's a young wife, helping her American husband run a restaurant. This didn't always flow as well as I would have liked, although the flashbacks helped to fill in the story in a way that gradually gave a good picture of Claire's life. Leo is a delightful character, and I very much enjoyed his friendship with Claire and her mother. However he has two children, a little older than Claire, who are most unpleasant types; I found them rather too nasty, not just as jealous, selfish children (not wishing their father to re-marry at all) but as grasping, bitter adults. It was hard to believe that anyone could be quite so vicious. The writing is good, most of the people well-rounded and interesting, and the plot quite exciting; I was eagerly awaiting the resolution of the mystery posed in the first chapter, and pleased with a satisfying resolution. All in all, an excellent book. Latest full review here: https://suesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2023/05/a-matter-of-trust-by-robin-pilcher.... sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
When Claire Barclay receives news that her beloved stepfather has had a stroke, Claire and her husband, Art, leave New York and fly back to Scotland to care for him during the summer. When their visit makes clear that Leo is no longer capable of living on his own but determined to stay in his beloved old house, they offer to purchase the place from Leo and build him a cottage on the property. But Claire's old flame Jonas Fairwether (who has become Leo's caretaker and trusted confidant) has other plans. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
