Thank you Sealover for recommending this lovely book - I read it early and have been looking forward to reading others' reviews. I felt that I was smiling as I read it and enjoyed the feelgood factor it gave me. I particularly admired the author's intention of celebrating womanhood which she clearly achieved.
The mother/daughter relationship was complex, warm and realistic - such relationships don't seem to have cultural boundaries. Also enjoyed the wife/husband relationship and how they grew together over the years, despite the blips!
Just back yesterday from a wonderful 12 days holiday in Sri Lanka with the scent of frangipani everywhere - our last hotel room had bowls of water with fresh frangipani flowers replaced from the trees in the garden daily - a floating scented candle added in the evening - bliss! I wished I'd taken the book with me to read there.
