Today I am pleased to be taking part in Susan Lewis' blog tour to celebrate the publication of her latest book 'One Minute Later'.
There are two very clear storylines throughout the book, Vivienne Shager and Shelley Raynor. Spread over two timelines, some thirty years apart, these both appear to be standalone stories however they do, of course, slowly begin to entwine and the resulting story is powerful and I really enjoyed reading it. I lost a good few evenings absorbed in the tale and it stayed with me for a long time after I read that final page.
This is a great Women's Fiction title which does have the strong female characters that readers will care about and begin to feel are part of their friendship circle however this is so much more with an added undertone of strong emotion, suspense and intrigue.
I really enjoyed the beautiful setting of the book - it was somewhere I would love to have visited. Susan Lewis describes the scenery perfectly and I could definitely spend a long weekend exploring the location. I love the social history that is also explored within.
Thank you to the publishers, Harper Collins, for inviting me to take part in this blog tour and a copy of the book in return for an honest review.
