I enjoyed this novel - the second I've read by Maggie O'Farrell. The structure of the first 1/2 - 2/3rds was particularly unusual, following the parallel lives of the two main characters (Jake from Hong Kong and Stella from London/Scotland)in short sections - unlike some novels where there is a whole chapter devoted to one character. After they have met, and the 2 stories are combined, was more conventional. The relationship between Stella and her sister Nina was also well drawn. This was a quick, easy read, and a bit different from a lot of modern novels.
