About this listen

 On Coronation night the ex-pat community in Hong Kong gathers for a celebration party, and 21-year-old Joy falls in love at first sight. She is engaged within 24 hours, but will not see her fiancé again for a year. Fifteen years later, when Sabine, her mother and grandmother are brought together, not only a deeply buried family secret is discovered, but also some fundamental truths: about the conflict between love and duty, about women's choices, and about mothers and daughters.©2002 Jojo Moyes (P)2003 W F Howes Ltd. Romance

Critic Reviews

"There are plenty of fireworks among the three and the strong supporting cast as old secrets come to the surface in this absorbing family drama." ( Publishers Weekly)
"The Irish setting and warmly described family relationships will appeal to fans of Maeve Binchy." ( Library Journal)

Family rupture and repair

A good story true to Jojo Moyes' style of interweaving stories across generations and painting a glimpse of life juxtaposing the old with new. She captures the complexity and misunderstandings that rip families apart.

A good listen

I love listening to Jono Moyes. Her skill in blending eras and the characters therein is clever and sensitive. Just right for a cold rainy afternoon by the fire. Thank you Jojo.

Wasn’t sure but...

It took a while for me to warm to the narrator, at first it was like she was singing the story but she really grew on me and was excellent with accents. A really heart warming story. Jojo Moyes captures family dynamics so well.

Surprisingly not great

Slow and unsatisfying. Just too much going on and much of it uninteresting. The reveal isn't worth the wait and the ending is overwrought.
