I'll Leave You With This
Kylie Ladd
Reviewed by Helen
I truly love a good family story, and Kylie Ladd has nailed it with this beautiful story, it is filled with so many emotions, it is heartfelt, heartwarming and witty as the O’Shea family move on through tragedy and realise what they all mean to each other, this is my first Kylie Ladd story but it won’t be the last.
Allison is an obstetrician at a big Sydney Hospital, married to Jason with twin sons Eliot and Martin, she is always busy at work but loves her family.
Bridie is an award winning director married to actor Tom but she has not directed anything for a while and she too is always busy.
Clare is a nurse, married to Sophie, she wants a bay so badly but is having no success with IVF.
Emma is a musician who plays the cello and has found God in her lonely life.
When they lose their brother Daniel they seem to drift apart even more, but meet up on the anniversary of his death every year, Daniel was an organ donor and on the third anniversary luncheon Clare decides that it would be a great idea to meet up the with recipients that Daniel helped, not everyone is happy about this idea but the wheels are set in motion and soon these sisters are meeting up with people who are alive and well today because of Daniel, will it bring them together or push them further apart?
I loved this story so much, getting to know the sisters and the things they had all gone through made them easy to become friends with, I felt I knew them so well, all so very different as sisters normally are, there is fabulous dialogue throughout and it is just so open and honest, I would highly recommend this story, there are so many other characters who add so much to the story, Joel and John Thomas, I loved them both .A must read.
