When Aran Campion leaves her Irish village for faraway London, she wants to escape and grow. Soon her job, her music, her Saturday market stall make her life too full for love and marriage. Until she meets a struggling musician called Ben. Despite their differences they seemed destined for success.
This is a book I picked up in the library on the recommendation of its back-cover description. It lifted me out of a rut I have been in of books with plots that didn't hold my attention. A Note of Parting was sweet, realisticic and dramatic at the same time-just what I like from a novel. It didn't just cover six months of someone's life, but twenty years. The reader gets to watch Aran grow and change and find her place within her family and within her society and come to terms with herself. The romance of the story was not cut and dry, the relationship would never be perfect-this made it all the more interesting. All in all, A Note of Parting is highly recommended to women who like read romance with a bit of intelligence to it.
