4.0

Really goes into the detail of the relationship between mother and daughter which was both painful and beautiful through their separate aspects of life and how they wish to lead it.

There were several times where I felt they were a bit overly involved in each others personal life's which probably lead to the disputes. I understand the fact they are mother and daughter and want to be there to support one another but I believe they should respect each others choices even if they don't like it themself and should be happy for their happiness.

Overall I did like the book, it is the first Westmacott I've read, and I have previously read some of her crime books so it was nice to see a different side of Christie. Will definitely read another one
