Det er en virkelig spændende bog! Den er overraskende, barsk men også rigtig sød.

The sun was still rising and Bangkok was quiet, which meant Harry was able to enjoy the city, with its miscellany of colonial architecture, wooden shacks and Thai-style houses. He only wished he’d had the physical stamina to explore more of it. They arrived ...
The house was in darkness, with the magnificent oak front door ominously closed. She realised she hadn’t asked Kit which entrance she should use. It didn’t seem this was the one. Stepping out of the car, clutching her bottle of wine, Julia locked it and walked round the corner of the house toward...
We’ve had Sadie arriving with her suitcase; then the tear thing started as she said goodbye to Mum and went off with Dad to the airport. I can only deduce that the wood-chopper’s chopper is off the agenda and Sadie’s heading off to carve out a new future back in London. Then Mum started too as sh...
When Emilie tried to talk to him over supper, he was distant. When they climbed into bed later, she asked him again if he had a problem. “Sorry, things are just very difficult at present, that’s all.” “You mean, businesswise?” “Yes. I’ve just discovered the bloody bank hasn’t been putting through...
‘Fine,’ she replied. ‘Good, good. Are you settling down here all right?’ ‘I suppose so, but I’d prefer to go home.’ ‘To Marchmont?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘So you regard Marchmont as your home rather than the apartmen...
The sun was shining brightly and the day was warm. He watched Rosanna as she played with Nico on the daisy-studded lawn.
