A good solid read.
Two lonely, needy people don’t always mesh well. In this case, the result is a disaster. I wondered about the title and understood it when I finished the book. Fate had it in for these characters. The dark history of apartheid in South Africa forms the basis for much of the trouble, but Lydia is clueless.
She has her reasons for ignoring the bad patch she and her husband of almost a decade are going through. His lack of support for her problems doesn’t help. What she doesn’t know about the man she married hampers her efforts to find her children when he packs them up and escapes in the dead of night. The plot has quite a few twists, and it kept me reading. There may have been one too many coincidences, a notion which didn’t strike me until the end.
Still, it was a good read, well written and entertaining. If you’re looking for a romance, this book is not for you. There is a hint at the end of the book of something to come in Lydia’s future.
