Product Description
From Amazon
Sheila O'Flanagan admirers will undoubtedly rate Far From Over as among her best yet. Having already achieved considerable acclaim for such charming and involving books as Dreaming of a Stranger, her work is distinguished by its combination of warmth and spry humour, which makes the narratives quite unlike those of any other author. Gemma, her heroine here, is considering how to end the moribund marriage she is caught in. When she makes the decision to go it alone with two kids, she finds herself surprised that she is so resentful when her career-obsessed husband David marries Orla, whom Gemma finds to be a brainless redhead. But Orla has her own problems as she wonders how she will follow the super-efficient Gemma when it comes to running a home; she can't even cook. And then there's David, who loves both women...
The situation has a whole mass of possibilities and O'Flanagan is astute enough to make the most of them all. All the characters are drawn with richness and sympathy, and this is her most beguiling book yet. --Barry Forshaw --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Review
'An insight into modern-style marriage... a rollercoaster ride through lives of affluence and destruction' -- Irish Times 'Well written, down to earth and honest' -- Woman's Way 'The appeal of Sheila's books is obvious; they have a romantic, feel-good factor, they're funny and she doesn't shy away from dealing with troublesome emotional issues' -- Irish Post

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of her Best!,
By Lisa (Edmonton, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Far from Over (Paperback)
I have read many of the author's books, but I think this one is the best I have read so far. The characters are well written and you can feel your feelings for the characters change throughout the book. The novel ties in the thoughts of all sides and you feel more as though the situations are real, and you are a friend hearing about it first hand. Great chick lit read!
4.0 out of 5 stars
It gives us all hope,
By A Customer
This review is from: Far from Over (Paperback)
I enjoyed this story. I am a big Maeve Binchy fan and then started reading Marian Keyes and was looking for another similar autor. This is a good example of chick lit and fun to read. It also relates to many human problems/situations we all face and it is interesting to see how the characters in this book react. Good read

avid reader,
By "sarah26823" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Far from Over (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. I picked it up because I had been reading all of Maeve Binchy's novels and I was rapidly running out of them. This book was on a display table with some of Maeve Binchy's work at the bookstore, because they are both contemporary Irish women authors. I found thir writing styles similar, and I found myself really engrossed in this novel by the end. I would recommend it for anyone who has read Binchy and enjoyed her, and I am pleased to have found another Irish author that I can enjoy as much. I am currently reading another one of her novels and I plan to read them all. It is satisfying escapist literature at it's best.
