For some characters it seems as if reconciliation to their fate will never be possible but place and myth quietly begin to work their magic and ghosts are laid to rest at last.In the first two novels of her trilogy - The English Girls and L'Hermitage - Sue Dooks shows how the consequences of our actions are never in our control and that to make amends for the forces we may unwittingly unleash will never be easy. In Backward Glances it is once again the power of love and the ability to forgive which brings an acceptance of the past which allows the possibility of a future for her characters.

Leigh and John’s summer affair five years ago ended badly, and they’re both leery of relationships after their own failed marriages. But John has always been drawn to Leigh, even though the handyman doubts he’s good enough for the brilliant scientist and her twin boys. And Leigh has a secret that could change everything.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA deeply felt first novel of family, choices, and coming to terms with the past. On a stifling Christmas Eve in 1967 the lives of the McDonald children-Deborah, Robert, James, and Meredith-changed forever. Their mother, Rosemarie, told them she was running out to buy some lights for the tree. She never came back. The children were left with their father, and a gnawing question: why had their mother abandoned them? Over the years, the four siblings have become practiced in concealing their pain, remaining close into adulthood, and forming their own families. But long-closed wounds are reopened when a chance encounter brings James face-to-face with Rosemarie after nearly forty years. Secrets that each sibling has locked away come to light as they struggle to come to terms with their mother's reappearance, while at the same time their beloved father is progressing into dementia. Veitch's family portrait reveals the joys and sorrows, the complexity and ambiguity of family life, and poignantly probes what it means to love and what it means to leave.
