Got Better As I Read

In the end, I really enjoyed this book. It was a little hard to catch on in the beginning (slow start and the British tongue can be hard to follow). But as I continued, I couldnt put it down. I enjoyed the stories about the daughters far more than their mother's journal entries. Some were too long, drawn out and came at a bad time in the story. Maybe it's because you never really get to know the mother so sometimes I had no interest in reading what she wrote. After I finished the book, I was left with a desire to know more. How their lives continue, like I was waiting for the next episode. The last few books I've read left me with such a hollow feeling - I was pleased this book ends on a lighter note, even if other reviews say its too easy to believe. I recommend reading this book.

things i want my daughters to know

I enjoyed this book. It doesn't take long to get caught up in the characters. It's a book about life and relationships. An easy but heart felt read.

Touching book!

This is a great book. I could not put it down. As a mother, I was moved by Barbara's need to leave something for her girls. The characters are very complicated and the author gives great insight to each of them.

Tremedous!

I loved every page. I have daughters of my own and found it very insightful. If only all fiction could be this griping. Recommend it for the summer and beyond.

Love this Book!

This is definetly one of those books that you don't want to put down. Enjoyed reading it very much. This story has inspired me to keep a journal for my children to give them years to come.
