COUNTDOWN TO LAUNCH .......TWO DAYS AGO
"It was devastating, it was perfect and it was beautiful. I couldn’t stop thinking about the characters and their lives long after I’d read the last page. A magnificent read!"
So happy with this first review of The Judge's Wife on the second step of The Judge's Wife Blog Tour.Blog tour and review: The Judge’s Wife by Ann O’Loughlin
I was truly honoured when I was asked to read and review and take part in the blog tour for The Judge’s Wife by Ann O’Loughlin. I loved her previous book and was really looking forward to this one too. And I love all the books that I’ve been sent by Black and White Publishing.
About the book:
Can a love last forever?
With her whole life ahead of her, beautiful young Grace’s world changes forever when she’s married off to a much older man, the Judge. Soon, feeling lonely and neglected, Grace meets and falls in love with an Indian doctor, Vikram. He’s charming, thoughtful and kind, everything her husband is not. But this is the 1950s, and when the scandal threatens to come to light, the situation must be harshly dealt with to avoid ruin, leading to years of heartbreak, misunderstandings and secrets. The Judge’s Wife spans three decades, and is a moving story of three women and how one great love changed their lives forever…
What did I think?
I absolutely, completely and utterly adored this book from the first page, all the way through every single page, through to the very last. It was a book that when I was away from, even if it was just to make a cuppa, I was desperate to get back to. I just couldn’t bear to be away from them.
The characters of Vikram and Grace were both such beautiful, innocent characters that I could have read about so much more. They are characters that I’d love to read more about.
Ann has a lovely writing style, which I discovered in her previous book The Ballroom Café that immediately lifts you up, whisks you away and plonks you down into another life. A life that you feel you are truly living in. I absolutely loved the descriptions of Grace’s clothes and felt like I was unpacking them myself.
I felt devastated by the circumstances that were written about and wanted to help. I was totally and fully compelled to turn the pages. And oh my, what a twist at the end! I certainly didn’t see that coming!
The Judge’s Wife is a stunning book that broke my heart, on more than one occasion. It was devastating, it was perfect and it was beautiful. I couldn’t stop thinking about the characters and their lives long after I’d read the last page. A magnificent read!
