Nobody don't want to talk about the mother.What happen for the mother and children?This book is interesting for me. I did't know what happen the end of this story.However,in Japan, there are many insutitution such as Harvey family. This is very nice, because the children who lost mother have hurt heart. I think it is good idea for such children.

    • 2/5
      Cathy took care of children who lost their mother,Miranda.But no one talked the mother's death.Who did kill her?Why did everyone always say "remember Miranda"?I couldn't find out a person who killed Mirandabefore I read last scene.Although this story was maybe happyend,it didn't make sense to me.

      Cathy begin to new job. The job is looking after two children in Duncan's house because their mother, Miranda is dead. Cathy feel something wrong. The family never talk about Miranda...I like Duncan. He is very hard to please, but have solid will.Jealousy made the relationship of the family dispersive, so I thought it was fearful.

      Cathy Wilson go to the Harvey family because this is her job and her job is to look after the Harvey's children and housework.In the fields there is the person whose name is Nick.And Duncan who is children's father hates Nick.Cathy has some doubts.The biggest doubt is the reason why does nobody want to talk about Miranda who was mother and she died.I don't like love story like a melodrama.I didn't expect the last of this story and the last is forcible,I thought.I thought it has been caused such a tragic case by a desire for exclusive possession and jealousy.
    • 3/5
      This story is human interest.It was surprising about Miranda's death.She's present was misterious.Because everybady remembers Miranda,but nobody wants to talk about her.I want more people to read this book.This story is very misterious,but nice love story.

    • 3/5
      I think,this story includes the problem about Love and Family,and Suspense.There were a lot of secrets in the Harvey family."Remember Miranda"is a keyward in the story.I was very surprised the reason why Miranda died.But I sympathize with Miranda and Juliet.I think every woman want to be loved by own lover.Loneliness and extra kindness make woman hurt.I wish Cathy and Duncan be happy.
    • 1/5
      Terrible story.The first half is mystery, but the second half is tomance.Why can this main character fall in love with the man had doubted killer?Farfetched ending is very strange.
    • 4/5
      This book is thriler and mystery. But this story is something sad.I couldn't image the end, so it was very exciting.
    • 4/5
      It was an interesting book, because I couldn't think about its ending. I think Miranda didn't important role in thins book, and Nick and Juliet's love will be unhappy end. Loneliness or uneasiness often makes people mad.
    • 5/5


      This book is easy and fun. Besides, it's good to study English.
