This is another enthralling tale from a writer who never fails to produce a thoroughly readable book. This one centres on a plot of revenge by a former wife who regards her ex-husband as having betrayed her and also having caused the death of their daughter and now turned their son against her. Ivy’s plan to gain revenge ensnares a naive Rachel in its plot and she becomes an unwitting accomplice in gaining the trust of the ex-husband, Carl. But at the same time, Rachel develops an attraction to Carl, but is ambivalent about this in view of Ivy’s description of her past. Ivy’s plan seems to have predicted all the reactions of the people she ensnares and this leads to a gripping and tense finale as it starts to unravel and then continues to an unpredictable aftermath. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Rachel Doe is a shy accountant at a low ebb in life when she meets charismatic Ivy Schneider, nee Wiseman, at her evening class and her life changes for the better. Ivy is her polar opposite: strong, six years her senior and the romantic survivor of drug addiction, homelessness and the death of her child. Ivy does menial shift work, beholden to no one, and she inspires life; as do her farming parents, with their ramshackle house and its swan-filled lake, the lake where Ivy's daughter drowned. As Rachel grows closer to them all she learns how Ivy came to be married to Carl, the son of a WWII prisoner, as well as the true nature of that marriage to a bullying and ambitious lawyer who has become a judge and who denies her access to her surviving child. Rachel wants justice for Ivy, but Ivy has another agenda and Rachel's naïve sense of fair play is no match for the manipulative qualities of the Wisemen women.
