Two years ago Sarah's husband and son were tragically killed in a road accident and she is stuck in her grief unable even to sleep in her own bedroom. the only thing she can do is work where she is very sucessful. Her company has worked with Mr Kingston before but not her personally so she is surprised when he asks her to travel across the country to help him with a project.

When she discovers what the project is she is intrigued enough to stay and gradually learns to trust the elderly gentleman.

I enjoyed this book with it's heatbreaking and raw emotions especially at the beginning. At times though it seemed rushed and others it laboured the point. I didn't empathise with Sarah at times and she seemed very hard work. I know she had a huge loss but at some point life has to go on and until she takes on the project seems 'content' with where her life is.

I won't give it away but how she deals with the project just doesn't read to me as how such events would happen. She has no esperience in this area yet very quickly knows without any training what to do and colludes with Mr Kingston.

The idea of two strangers helping each other through difficult times is a good one but this just felt forced and stilted at times although none the less a worthwhile read… (altro)
