About this ebook
Kate is in her fifties, recently widowed, and coping with the difficulties--and occasional pleasures--of flying solo. But when her daughter Joanna's husband walks out, and Joanna instantly assumes that Kate will step into the supporting Granny role while she goes career and man-hunting, Kate realizes it is time to step outside her family's preconceived expectations--with devastating results. What follows is a delightful story of the relationships and unspoken power struggles between four generations of women, in Mary Sheepshanks's Picking Up the Pieces.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An enjoyable novel featuring a four-generation family, with the grandmother being the main protagonist. Excellent characters and a clear, gentle plot with many interesting sub-plots. Recommended.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5(This is a non-spoiler review) This is an attention holding, if predictable, formula romance with strong extended family characters dealing with personal issues. It "moves" a little faster than Pilcher and is a bit edgier that the Binchey I've read. There's a mystery or two woven in with skill to keep the pages turning. I enjoyed the fact that the main female character is in her mid-50s and unexpectedly comes across a chance for romance while restructuring her life on the one-year anniversary of her husband's death. She also has to consider her daughter's emotional problems, which in turn have caused problems for her granddaughter who she dearly loves. A satisfying read and slice of (upscale) modern life in the Yorkshire countryside.
