Scott Emerson and Frankie Shaw
meet by chance in London. Neither of them is on the lookout for love, but when
fate intervenes they know instinctively that what they have found in each other
is special and rare. The only drawback to their blissful love affair is that Scott
must return to his home in British Columbia, and Frankie needs to go back to her children
and her home in Norfolk. Thousands of miles apart and against all odds the
couple keep their love alive, until the fickle hand of fate intervenes once
more.
The Turning Point is a stunning combination of love, sincerity and
heartfelt longing. It’s beautifully written, both warm and comfortable, rather like
curling up with a close friend in whose company you feel completely at ease,
and yet, the gentleness of the narrative belies its strength, as this is one of
those books which really does make you sit up and take notice. British Columbia
comes gloriously alive with stunning descriptions and yet, it is with the cast
of characters where the book really hits home, they entice, beguile and make
you fall completely in love with them.
The emotional pull of the book is
deep and profound and really highlights the uncertainty of life and of how we
must all learn to deal with whatever fate throws at us. This is definitely one
of those rare stories which stays with you long after the last page is turned and one of my favourite books of the year, so far.
My thanks to Louise at Harper Collins for my copy of this book
