Is it ever too late to have the life you wanted?
This is an interesting look at
one women’s unease, both with herself and with her life. Trapped into an unequal
and disinterested marriage, Laura has stopped doing all the things she once
dreamed of, and although she doesn't know how unhappy she is, all it takes is
the chance meeting in a hotel lobby with a stranger, and the five days that
follow show Laura just how magical life can still be if only you are prepared
to follow your heart.
Beautifully written from the beginning
Five Days is one of my favourite Douglas Kennedy books to date. He gets
into Laura’s character so perfectly that the book could so easily have been
written by a female author. The interpretation throughout is flawless and the ability
to dissect the minutiae of everyday life is exemplary. With its combination of
regret, fidelity, family values and second chances, this story really tugs at
your heart strings, and the conclusion, when it comes, is skilfully completed.
Highly Recommended.
My thanks to NetGalley and Random House UK, Cornerstone for my review copy of this book
