Good Book

I Usually read mystery books and Thrillers but I read the book sisters by Kathleen Thompson and liked it so I decided to try this book. Her books are of simpler times. In this book Rachael is married and is not happy with her life and gets a divorce which is unheard of in these days and remarried to a man she is in love with. But in turn several years later her husband is foolish and thinks he is in love with a young girl and Rachael is devastated she is still in love with him but will not be humiliated.A very romantic read and wonderful descriptions of the period and the way relationships used to be.
