Eva Rice's, The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets is the best book I have read in years. I took it to read on holiday and I could not put it down .The tears were streaming down my cheeks at the end and I missed all of the characters when i had finished. So much so that I read it again!!
It read well, the descrptions and the conversations seemed so real.
A great read!!
