    About this audiobook

    In her early years, Allie and her bohemian mother Helena were always on the move. Now Helena keeps people at arm's length: relationships never last and old friends have slipped away. But when Allie inherits Helena's childhood home, she begins to see snatches of the tormented past her mother has been running from… Determined to find out what keeps driving her mother away from people, Allie follows a lead to the beautiful island of Ischia.

      This was an enjoyable piece of easy reading. Less than a day to read, interesting cast of characters, nice locations, a story with some depth to it and I'd certainly pick up another book by Feeny in future. But there were parts where I felt the book could have been much better. The characters seemed half heartedly realised at times and some things that ought to have been totally shocking were more or less skated over. And I felt like the book didn't quite know how to end. On the whole though it was a good read and a good story.

      I'm not sure why I bothered with this. Plausible characters and a well-constructed plot were conspicuous by their paucity!
