Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Sarah Watson is Oliver's wife and a mother of three. She did not want to have three kids. But things got much better with every new family member arriving. And Oliver progressed in his job, so they now can afford a house and a full-time helper. But despite having a good life, Sarah is missing something. Something, she wants to have for herself. To get it requires separation from her husband and her kids, temporarily. When Sarah goes for it, this suddenly leaves all the family work to Oliver. Juggling his job, organizing and being there for the kids, coping with Sarah's absence... All that is an ordeal which eats away on him.
This well written story is heart touching in places, but also saddening during the episodes where things don't work out well for the Watson family. The reader accompanies them from a seemingly happy family to the depths of despair and again up the slope of acceptance towards new hope and happiness.
