Ilustration To Books Sheer Abandon

A number-one bestseller from one of Britain’s most popular novelists, Sheer Abandon is an all-consuming story revolving around the consequences of a desperate act . . . Martha, Clio, and Jocasta meet by chance at Heathrow airport in 1985 as they are starting off on separate backpacking adventures, and they decide to spend the first few days of their trips together in Thailand. When they go their separate ways, they vow to get together in London the following year. But many years pass before the three cross paths again, and the once-capricious, carefree girls now all have thriving careers. One of them, however, harbors a terrible secret: On her return from her pre-college excursion, she abandoned her just-born daughter at Heathrow. Clio has fulfilled her ambition of becoming a doctor, only to find herself trapped in a marriage to an arrogant surgeon who belittles her and her professional achievements. Martha is a highly paid corporate lawyer, just embarking on a political career. Dedicated to her job, she has had little time for personal relationships and lives a busy, but lonely life. Jocasta, a tabloid newspaper reporter with an infallible instinct for the big story, is in love with a charming colleague who can’t make the permanent commitment she longs for. The infant abandoned at Heathrow has grown up under the loving care of her adoptive family. Now a beautiful teenager named Kate, she sets out to find her birth mother—a quest that unexpectedly brings the women together and exposes the secret buried so many years before. Impossible to put down, Sheer Abandon is top-notch women’s fiction. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Critique Based On Books Sheer Abandon

Simply amazing. The whole book was just one huge adventure, never quite sure of what was next. It was truly a heartfelt book, with human flaws so clearly decipted, but instead of feeling horrified, you cannot help but feel pity and love for them. Instead of wanting to strike out at them, I just wanted to protect them with a hug, telling them that it all will be okay. Especially Kate.I loved this book, and it was definitely not what I expected. Not by far, and frankly that's a good thing.

This book is about three teenage girls (Martha, Jocasta and Clio) that happen to be traveling in the same circle, establish a relationship and travel together for a bit and how their lives turn out.Clio is a doctor and in an unhappy marriage. Ugh.Martha is a successful lawyer, a bit unemotional on the outside and nabs a hot younger man.Jocasta is a reporter with a commitment-phobe boyfriend.Kate makes her entrance onto the scene...she was born at an airport and left by her mother. It is

I really enjoy ready Penny's books. This one did not disappoint. The story starts out strong enough and just builds. Although the stars of this book are so selfish in their own ways, i could wait to see how they all ended up good, bad, or indifferent.If you like Penny's books this one was/is a winner.

I enjoyed this book and first time read by this author, but I thought even the storyline outlined in the jacket cover it would be a little more intense. Maybe it was the British reserve of the author.After a gap year trip, one of the three main characters (Jocosta, Clio and Martha) gives birth in the London airport to a baby named Bianca. Sixteen years later the three meet again by chance and the beautiful young woman is searching out her birth mother. All have careers and liaisons of some sort.

Why I didn't really like this book...1. It could and should have been 300 pages. Instead, it dragged on for 627. 2. The author gives away important information early on in the book. Unless you are quite slow, you are going to know who the Mother and he Father of the abandoned baby are and you will be waiting rather impatiently for like 400 pages while the rest of the characters figure out what you already know.3. I didn't like the writing style. The author jumps from character to character

I wish I could say that this book brought me joy to read but no . The first three chapters started well, going from Kate to Martha, Clio and Jocasta finding out who they were and the main story line , who was Kate's real mum. Then it went down hill as we went through back stories and present day problems. I think the main problem with this book was the 632 pages, way too long it would have made a brilliant book under 350 pages as you lost interest half way through as the story was not

I had high hopes for this book. I really enjoyed the author's Lytton family trilogy. I found most of the characters in this book both unbelievable and unlikeable and the plot was disappointingly predictable.
