Reseña del libro "Then and Now: A Tale of Love, Loss and the Chance to Put Things Right (en Inglés)"
'I didn't just 'enjoy' this book. I rapidly became mesmerised by it, lost in it, consumed to the extent that I couldn't put it down and had to stay up all night to finish inhabiting this timeless take on life, love, risks, wins and losses.' Sandy is about to retire following an illustrious career as editor of an upmarket fashion magazine. Michael can't retire, he thinks his work to explain the dangers of climate change is far too important. Jonathan would like to retire from running his fundraising consultancy but a family crisis is getting in the way. These three were the best of friends at university before a tragedy wrecked their friendship. That was fifty years ago and they haven't spoken since. Sandy urges the other two to join her at a weekend reunion. Together they reminisce about their student days, such a wild era with its heady mix of free love, drugs and ground-breaking music. They share their life journeys since the Swinging Sixties - the successes and failures, the happiness and despair, and their optimism and fears for the future. The reunion is drawing to a close. Dare they tackle the incident that tore them apart, an event that has brought guilt for so many years? If they are to have any chance of reconciliation they have to, but the clock is ticking.

Beyond the Books 'A fantastic read - a book that really pulls on the heartstrings.' TBHonest 'I loved Then and now. I was utterly hooked and thought the characters were brilliantly written.
