About this ebook
On a hot summer's day, a lorry slews across a motorway and causes a huge pile-up. In that split-second accident, lives are changed forever.
Jonathan is a successful surgeon returning from a liaison with his mistress, Abi; Georgia is a young actress on her way to an audition for the part that could make her career; Toby is a bridegroom travelling to his wedding with his best friend, Barney; Mary is a widow, trying to get to the airport to reunite with her wartime first love, and William is a young farmer who witnesses the crash from across the hill.
One incident - and only one person who really knows what happened. THE BEST OF TIMES is an exhilarating, engaging novel of secrets, hopes and worlds that are torn apart.

I was initially daunted by the sheer thickness of this book and now I've finished it, I strongly believe it would have been better with about 100 less pages. It starts off strong and hard hitting, moves to before the 'event' which is breath holding tense and has you excited to find out what happens next then bam! Now we're at the scene of the 'event' which is gripping and really well written. Finally, we move to the aftermath and this is where the story fails. It just drifts off aimlessly
