What a delightful read! I was captivated by the author's style of writing. Marisa de los Santos tells the story about Cornelia, a young woman, perhaps unlucky in love, who becomes enmeshed in the life of a young girl, Clara, in need of some motherly love and attention. Clara is the daughter of Martin, the man who has (we think) won Cornelia's heart. And then Theo enters, the husband of Cornelia's sister, an old time friend, the one who gave Cornelia her first kiss. The author switches points of view from Cornelia to Clara evenly, and keeps us intrigued and guessing right to the end as to how it'll all turn out. Highly recommended.
