Miranda

Miranda is a beautifully written story about a girl who runs away when she discovers a big, family secret. Lawrence and Juliet arrive in the Isle of Man to visit his father and sort out their failing marriage. Nothing is as Lawrence expected. His father’s health is getting worse and the housekeeper’s daughter has a strangely close relationship with his father. I don’t want to post spoilers, so I won’t go any further into the story. But I loved the way the writer delves into the family...

Enjoyed this book, easy read and I have a lot of connections with the Isle of Man so that made it even more interesting, only criticism was the ending jumped on a few years but lacked any detail about the current situation and felt a bit \"thin\" )

But enjoyable anyway. Hence the 3 stars. It didn’t grip me but I enjoyed reading this... should have been marketed to a different audience )

A compelling and poignant story dealing with the consequences of long held family secrets and how they intertwine to affect the people brought together as they are revealed. Set on the Isle of Man, an old man looks back over past relationships whilst his granddaughter comes to terms with the effects of his decisions. )

A heartfelt read which has a satisfying ending and different from \"Girl Number One\" which I really loved! Thanks Jane. )
