“If half of all marriages end in divorce, how long does the average marriage last? This isn’t a math problem; I’d really like to know. I bet it’s less than nine and a half years……”
The above is an extract from the Saving Graces. a novel on the love, loyalty and courage of four women, put to the ultimate test – well that is the blurb on the front cover anyway. It is also recommended it as a warm and funny read – and I do agree. This second hand book shop find, was given to me by a friend as an ‘enjoyable read on friendship’ and I skipped easily and quickly through the book, relating to all the personal stories and experiences of the characters. It is a delightful holiday read.
