I bought this 6 years ago. Tried to read it twice, got bored and gave up. Found it on the top of my wardrobe last weekend and gave it another bash. So glad I did! This time I couldnt put it down. I did initially have to keep checking the back cover to remind myself which character was which.But apart from that, this was a fantastic read. Love the way Parsons describes his characters emotions. Always brings a lump to my throat.
