Album Reviews: Q (3/02, p.128) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...She's possessed of a fine, pure voice, somewhere between Emmylou Harris and a young Joni Mitchell..." Mojo (April 2002, p.102) - "...Thomas is...inclined to quiet, powerful ballads in a neo-traditional style..." Entertainment Weekly (2/01/02, p.107) - "...Thomas is a moonlighting comic with an earth-angel voice who channels fragile melismas through heartachy tales sketched with acoustic guitars and pianos. Sometimes poignant, always pretty....As tears of a clown go, it's moving stuff." - Rating: B+
Advantages: Small Town America at its best! Disadvantages: Too short!

The house needs continual repair, plaster falls from the ceiling at an alarming rate, Uncle Poppy, Rebecca’s 99 year old uncle-in-law who lives on the top floor is obsessed with his forthcoming 100th birthday party and Min Foo (aka Minerva) Rebecca and Joe’s daughter is just about to give birth to her third child from her third “exotic” marriage.
Against this backdrop Rebecca starts to wonder what would have happened if she had never met Joe and decides to contact Will, her old boyfriend, with interesting results.

Advantages: Interesting, enjoyable, amusing Disadvantages: None, except if you're looking for major, ground breaking plot twists !
...light hearted or maudlin.
I read this whilst on a holiday and it went perfectly with the sunny terrace and sea breeze - gripping enough to be enjoyable but not so white knuckle that I was tempted to miss dinner in order to read on !
I'll be looking out for more Anne Taylor books.
