This is the story of Dilys, a wealthy, very pleasant woman in her late forties who inspite of her seemingly perfect married life, engages in an affair with a man she meets by chance at a railway station. Although I spent great swathes of this book thinking how selfish and ungrateful Dilys was, I couldn't help but rather like her. A very enjoyable and engaging read - and enough to put anyone off having an extra-marital affair I would think!! ( )

Biggest disappointment was the lack of delivery on humour that was promised all over the cover. Another affair novel, that just left me cold. ( )

Left behind by one of my predacessors. I enjoyed it much more than I expected to. ( )

I didn't enjoy this one. Possibly didn't finish it. Can't remember a thing about it. This is a really bad sign. ( )
