She has a lovely speaking voice, but voice acting, sorry ms collingwood. I loathe present tense and would not have bought the book if Id known it was written this way, but to muddle it with various types of past tense was just beyond irritating. The best character, Madeline, was dumped in a lifeboat then promptly forgotten so Why was she even in the book ? I also hated the change of tense. he had no personality at all, was a gambler, unreliable and cowardly, yet all the women characters cant contain their passion for him. The character of Mark Fletcher was just unbelievable. The very small genuine supernatural part in a bathroom was silly and didnt match the rest of the book, neither did the scene in the swimming pool. There are some well written passages, sub stories, but the two central timelines and character of annie / lilian mystified me and I still have no idea how they ended up blended together or why. This book left me confused and frustrated.
