A Simple Life - By: Mrs. C. Smith, 31 Jul 2008 
Although this was a well written story, it is not the cheeriest in the world.
It is very sad in places & made me feel very uncomfortable in relation to the 'heroine' who regrets a decision in her past. This however is no reflection on Rosie Thomas' writing - she deals sensitively with the subject - possibly how well she has written as you can put yourself in the lead characters shoes.
I have only read one other Rosie Thomas book - Bad Girls, Good Women & thoroughly enjoyed this, even though again, you feel uncomfortable in the lead characters shoes, & it was incredibly sad in parts. This said though it did not feel as bleak as this story.
Heart-warming tale of a woman's quest to heal her heart - By: , 16 Dec 2000 
Once again Rosie Thomas keeps you gripped from page one. This is a heart-rendering story of a woman who cannot come to terms with a decision she made in her past & returns to England from her American home to try to make peace with her past. Although almost tragic in parts, the story shows that sometimes you must follow you heart regardless of the consequences.
A hard-to-put-down romantic novel - By: , 20 Jun 1999 As with Rosie Thomas's other stories, I found this one pleasing & flowing to read, very sensitively written, yet believable & realistic. I enjoyed this book very much.
