    About this audiobook

    “Rich, romantic, beautifully drawn and utterly compelling’ Jane Green

    Life is short. Sometimes you have to take a chance…

    ‘A deeply moving tale about never taking life for granted’ Stylist

    Two single parents, Frankie and Scott, meet unexpectedly. Their homes are far apart: Frankie lives with her children on the North Norfolk coast, Scott in the mountains of British Columbia. Yet though thousands of miles divide them, a million little things connect them. A spark ignites, a recognition so strong that it dares them to take a risk.

    For two families, life is about to change. But no-one could have anticipated how.

      This is a great read, even almost thirty years after it was published. Some things that Capra anticipated have happened and many have not. Although he was quite optimistic in his expectation, this book primarily is not about predicting future, it's more about being aware where we are and where were heading. I think that Capra underestimated the capability of the society to absorb different world views and life styles: it's seems that we'll have to wait for the cultural turning point for quite some time. It's somewhat funny how Capra repeatedly invokes the "paradigm shift": paradigm can only be visible in hindsight. Our grandchildren might be able to tell if there was any paradigm shift. Or maybe the shift will be that there's no dominant paradigm? (That's something that Capra didn't considered either.)Nevertheless, the book is very inspiring, very well written and rich in information. Although it's relatively long, it's by no means "dense" or boring. Each chapter has its point and is relatively self-contained. Perhaps there will be no turning point for the whole society in foreseeable future, but we can start by doing each its own little turning point. Let's see what happens in the long term when they add up!
    • 5/5
      (Spoiler Alert) Well, this is the first of any Freya North I've read and I maintain it won't be the last she is a wonderful writer. The story was so well developed and the cast of characters came right off the page, so much so when she wrenched the plot so quickly I lost my breathe! Great, great book, but I haven't forgiven her for the end yet.
