This is basically a love story set in the dark days of WWI, when soldiers are returning home unable to speak of the horrors that they have witnessed. As usual Deborah Moggach manages to explore the alternative facets of the time she is writing about, and that is what makes this such an enthralling read.
The lives of the lodgers, the maid, who seems little more than a slave, but grateful to have a position, and Eithne and her son, who run the boarding house, are all portrayed in their grim reality; and then Neville arrives. Eithne is blind to everything but the excitement he brings into her life. But...carry on reading as of course there is more to most of the characters than meets the eye. This is another excellent ...

It is five years since I have read a book by this author and I found it rather different from previous titles I have read by her. It is a sad and beautifully written novel but I did not find it all stimulating. It took me a long time to get into the story and I nearly gave up, not doing so only because I have never found any of this authors work so disappointing before now. There was no depth in my opinion, either to the characters or in the story which is basically very touching.

A very different book to what I had expected. I thought it was going to be a light-hearted comedy when in fact, it's much more. I loved all of the characters, feeling they were a good representation either of their gender, age or nationality. The novel opens with Ravi, born in India but lived in London having trained as a doctor. His wife Pauline has the patience of a saint where her father, Norman, is concerned. Norman is once more living with them, having been asked to leave yet another residential home. This is to Ravi's disgust and is having a detrimental effect on his marriage. One evening his cousin Sonny is visiting London on business and Ravi unburdens himself. It is at this point that Sonny hits on the idea to build a residential home in Bangalore, ... Read More:

Having read and enjoyed some of Deborah Moggach's books before, this was a surprise. The Stand In is I would say, her finest book yet. It's an enthralling story which pulls the reader in, and although you know she's wrong, you can't help but find yourself sympathysing with the main character. The book is essentially about jealousy, something we can all relate to! The final page is fantastic, it ties the story up perfectly and leaves you feeling like you've had your moneys worth!

I read this as afirst effort into getting back into taking time out to read and relax and as such it was enjoyable in a superficial sort of way. The characters were caricatures rather than real & muddled. It was easy to predict their next move.I did like Mac & his attitude to life, & the fathers unexpected attitude to him. There!!! The characters are not entirely predictable. A light read.

I bought this for my mum when she was going on holiday and she loved it so much that I had a read as well. There is a good mix of stories - some make you laugh and other's tug on the heartstrings. I loved the retro feel to the jacket and have it facing out on my book shelf!

This is a wonderfully crafted story. Moggach, renowned for her gruesome murder mysteries shows a far lighter side in this delightful story of a girl falling in love with a much older man, and becoming intrigued by and caught up with the characters in his past. Russell Buffery is a well known actor and radio star who has been married not once but several times, and we see him initially on the verge of the end of another marriage. However the emphasis is on the humourous, human, slightly squalid state of his life as he ends his middle years. Chapter by chapter we are shown the lives of his "other women" and children, the reader becoming, as the young woman, acquainted with a series of delightfully funny and poignant families and relationships. I loved this book, ... Read More:

I picked this up in my local library because it sounded interesting and i have come across a similar situation. This book is well written, it made me cry because of the mother unable to be with her own children and I think all mothers will find this book extremely touching. The last time a book made me cry was Message from Nam by Danielle Steel and I read that 15 years ago. Read it if you can.
