'Good old-fashioned storytelling, wonderfully satisfying...This is a curl up and enjoy book, swinging from Scotland to Tuscany in a truly absorbing read.' The Bookseller on A Way of Forgiving 20040723 'There are sinister undertones and mysteries of missing family treasures and vandalised homes, and it isn't till the end that all is revealed. Worth a read.' Newcastle Herald on A Way of Forgiving 20041120 'From moments caught on canvas, a tragic relationship unfolds. And embroiled in this unfolding, two lives become entwined. Someday, Somewhere is a wonderful double-layered love-story, beautifully structured and a plain old-fashioned good read.' -- Isla Dewar 20041120 'Captivating romance!The beautiful Scottish setting only adds to this poignant and poetic journey through the generations.

This review is from: Way of Forgiving (Paperback)
There's something to be said about a book that captures the nuances of everyday life, the heartbreak and betrayal of human beings as a whole, and the redeeming power of love. Eileen Ramsay has crafted a story about a woman that could be any one of us, and shown us that life doesn't have to end when your heart gets broken. Even more so, the miseries and deceptions that are the typical family dynamic show that all of us have the power to forgive almost anything, even when forgiving seems so hard to do.For Sophie Winter, her well-paying job in the Scottish Parliament is something to take pride in. So is her active social life. Sophie never lacks for companionship, whether it be of the friendly or romantic variety. To many, she has almost the perfect life-except for the scandal of her divorce, five years ago, from famed pianist Raffaele de Nardis. The world watched in shock when Raffaele and Sophie divorced, and Sophie, although she won't want to admit it, will be the first to tell you that she's never been the same since.
When a family wedding forces Sophie's return to Italy , memories inundate her regarding her marriage to Raffaele. When the pianist himself shows up to play at the wedding reception, Sophie attempts to show no feelings to her ex-husband, or the woman who hangs on his arm. Only Sophie and Raffaele know the true reasons behind their divorce, and as the story unfolds, we learn that even Raffaele was left in the dark about certain facts and situations.
A WAY OF FORGIVING isn't just a story about a woman forgiving the man who broke her heart, or the telling of a man who has never forgotten the woman he hastily divorced. Instead, this book is about families, about the lengths that they go to love each other and, sometimes, the ways they go about hurting each other.
For Sophie, the summer in Tuscany isn't only about the healing power of love, but about how she can learn to forgive those who have hurt her, and how she can forgive herself and get on with life.

Great read, Dec 4 2011
By Leone Raffaele (an old cat) - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Way of Forgiving (Paperback)
This story really touched my heart,and held me spellbound.I lived the story with Sophie,and related to her family.My goodness, the family were certainly hard work.Both families, in fact, were so manipulative,I am surprised that Sophia coped as well as she did.
The Italian country side was so real,and the characters finely drawn.I loved this book and will keep it in my collection.
I can hear all the beautiful music in my mind when I think of this book,so thank you Eileen Ramsay.
Listmania!
