Book Description
Connie Thorne was abandoned by her mother: a foundling left for strangers to find. She fiercely carves her own place in the world, shaping her own identity away from her adoptive family. Her distance from her sister, Jeanette, her opposite in every way, is magnified when they both fall in love with the same man. Years later, with bitter betrayal between them, Jeanette contacts Connie to tell her she is dying. The only family Connie will ever know is disappearing. Leaving her peaceful hideaway in Bali, Connie hurries to her sister’s side. Can the two of them put the past behind them and make their peace? And can Connie make her own peace with who she is – and who she loves?

Good Read,
By Pamela Mckinnon "Traveling Pam" (Vancouver Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Constance (Paperback)
This was my first Rosie Thomas read. It is a good story and the characters are well rounded and interesting. I really liked the character of Constance. Left in a doorway at birth, and adopted into a family to which she never feels a sense of belonging, she so wants to find her birth mother. The relationship between herself and her sister (adopted family) works itself through very well. I enjoyed the book, with the varied settings of Bali and England. Great interaction between the characters and a happy ending make this a worthwhile read.
