PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Have tissues ready for the latest novel from Mansell, which is filled with wit, warmth and wonder. In present-day England, Hallie Kingsley struggles to accept that she could die from complications with cystic fibrosis. Her positive attitude, online advice column, and secret crush on her off-limits doctor keep her spirits high and her fight diligent. Flo Fenwick, caretaker of one very lucky cat , is caught between two siblings; falling for handsome Zander makes it difficult to avoid his sharp-tongued, resentful sister, Lena. Tasha Sykes has found the man of her dreams, but his adventurous lifestyle, a distinct contrast to Tasha's laid-back approach, gives her nightmares. Will her worries and fears doom her new-found happiness? Three lives are forever changed and three strangers are brought together when tragedy and miracle collide. Mansell fills her pages with realistic, relatable characters and situations. Her skillful balance of heartbreak and joy will stay with readers long after they finish the book.
Customer Reviews
Couldn’t put it down
This is a really lovely storyline and the way Jill wrote about organ donation was brilliantly sensitive. I couldn’t put this book down as I just wanted to know what happened!
A brilliant book about entwined lives
A beautiful book about a subject that often does not feature in fiction books of today. Well not the ones of read so far.
Transplantation of organs to give others a chance of a better and healthier life is important. My late sister-in-law died 28 years ago after a new kidney was transplanted into her. This new kidney gave 8 years more life.
As a family we are grateful for the extension and to the family who gave permission for this to happen. Thank you to them and thank you for the happiness within this book!
Unexpected
Not really the outcome you wished for but somehow so much closer to the unexpected way life goes on.. sad, hopeful and funny. Beautifully written
