My review -
Right
at the beginning of this book we realise that Audrey Templeton is missing from
a cruise ship, presumed dead. Her two adult children accompanied her on the
cruise at her expense - her last fling before looking at retirement homes. The
narrative alternates between Audrey's earlier life in India and her marriage to
the twins' father, and her daughter Alexandra's present-day story. Lexi's
brother John is behind the move to get their mum to accept sheltered
accommodation.
I
enjoyed this story very much. The brother and sister are very different and
Lexi harbours doubts and suspicions about her brother which make her wonder if
they can ever feel the same about one another when the cruise is over. The
characters are well fleshed-out and although I had guessed the ending, it was
no less satisfying for that. A really good read.
