Book overview
One fine day in May, Hattie's life changes for ever...Single mother Hattie has plenty of reasons to be happy. Her antiques business is flourishing, her teenage son is settled at boarding school and shes enjoying a fling with a younger, very sexy man. But when her job takes her back to the idyllic village of Little Crandon, painful memories of her first love - Dominic Forbes, the married politician she worked for years ago, the man who changed the course of her life come flooding back...Things come to a head when Hattie bumps into Dominics widow and his gorgeous younger brother, Hal, in the village and she finds her world turned upside down. Will Hattie come clean about what really happened with Dominic all those years ago? And, if she does, is she ready to face the consequences? Whatever happens, Hattie comes to realize that you cant keep running from your mistakes. Its time to move on and maybe, just maybe, let herself fall in love again

I just do not know what the author was thinking - I'd certainly think twice before buying one of her books again, and I have really enjoyed most of her others.

2.0 out of 5 stars Really disapointing, April 7, 2010

This review is from: One Day in May (Kindle Edition)
I read Catherine Alliott's book because (usually) they are a really good laugh - a little over the top, slightly silly heroines who always 'get their man'. This book however is a trudge through the life of a rather desperate if not out-right depressing (nearly) 40 year old. It borders on the moralistic, with a grim historic review, very few laughs, and a rather ridiculous 'convenient' discovery that ties up a rather messy ending. I can only assume that the author has never been seriously impoverished to have thought up the ludicrous conclusion!I just do not know what the author was thinking - I'd certainly think twice before buying one of her books again, and I have really enjoyed most of her others.
