Loving Him - Kate O'Riordan


What a beautifully written book! Heartwrenching, thrilling, evocative, visceral, wistful. I loved it. Only after finishing it did I realise I have another of the author's books 'The Angel in the House', a book I notably enjoyed. But this one is a stunner! Having just finished the last page, I'm wrapped up in the pain, the yearning sadness as if it was mine. Strange coincidence - there's a Tomasso mentioned in its Rome setting. The book I read just before this was The Food of Love, it's set in Rome, and one of the main characters is Tomasso! Oh just recalled that I have another of Kate O'Riordan's books "The Boy in the Moon" which I haven't read. Looking forward to the treat! And to The Memory Stones too...
