I was instantly in her 'place'. Rivetting! -Diana Whaley, Broadcaster, Writer & Editor Juliet is a charming and in some ways sad book but the happy ending makes up for it. I enjoyed it thoroughly. It was hard to put down. Well-written and edited. Hard not to give it five stars. -Janice Shrimpton, HK
