Customer Reviews

Trying to recapture the past.
So poignantly written and how beautifully Willett intertwines the happenings of the 1970s with those of the first decade of the twenty first century and covers the lives of two - almost three generations of a family. Their lives on the Devon moors are described with warmth and colour and ventures into Truro, Rock and Padstow are full of life. Reader you will not escape without a lump in your throat as you become a part of the story of the Bodrugan family and when you turn the last page and say Goodbye to them you will miss them. Another Willett triumph.

My view of Marcia Willett's The Way We Were
The Way we Were left me with a warm glow. Beautifully written as is the case with all Marcia Willett's work. Lovely to read on a cold winter evening.

Another winner for Marcia Willett
I loved "The Way we Were" Marcia Willett's books are so beautifully written she has such insite into the human character and there are no dull moments, the stories always make me cry too! Can't wait for the next book!
