Julie Whiting is a freelance journalist and struggles to get over the betrayal of her husband leaving her for a younger woman and moving to Australia. Her anger has consumed her life and her relationship with her daughter.Lisa is 18 and desperate to get away from the fighting with her Mum. She heads off travelling with the sole intention of getting to Australia and facing the father whom abandoned her. Upon arriving in Melbourne, Lisa finds that her Dad has a new family and one her older estranged brother is also aware of as he now lives here too. But the welcome from her Dad's new wife isn't very warm.Back at home in England, alone, Julie picks up an invite to attend a perfume launch in Paris and meets Frenchman Olivier Chabot whom she falls in love with.This story reflects much of our everyday lives, where families are fuelled by anger, resentment, regret and errors which multiply into more hurt. I did find the characters hard to relate to because of all their anger issues.This review is based on a free copy of the book given to me by the author.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.A truly engaging love story that gives insights into modern family lifeBy Geoffrey WestRun Away lifts the lid, for me, on the way certain women think and behave. Heroine Julie has a lot of stress in her life: a daughter with whom she has a fraught relationship, who has who has ‘gone travelling’ to destinations unknown and who won’t keep in touch, loneliness after the break-up of her marriage, and the vagaries of her life as a freelance journalist. We see the story from the two viewpoints of mother Julie, and that of her daughter Lisa. Life isn’t easy for Lisa by any means. Her relationship with her best friend Emma is under strain, especially when a boy they both fancy seems to be playing them off against one another, all set against the backdrop of wild hedonistic partying in Thailand. Meanwhile, back in the UK, Julie is exposed to the bitchiness of the ghastly Stella Whiting, a rival journalist who is married to the brother of Julie’s errant husband Martin, who left her to begin a new life in Australia with young redhead Amy. However, life takes a turn for the better when Julie goes to Paris on a job and meets handsome perfumier Olivier, with whom she falls in love. The story moves from Lisa’s experiences in Australia, meeting her father Martin and her trials and tribulations with putative boyfriend Dan, and Julie’s fast progressing love affair with Olivier, that has its many ups and downs. There are characters to heartily dislike, such as the awful Stella, who does her best to destroy Julie’s happiness, and plenty of people to like and to root for, not least Julie, easy going Martin, whose new life in Australia isn’t as idyllic as it seems, and Lisa, who has problems of her own, but who manages to get things together finally. I also liked interesting and enigmatic Olivier, who seems to be a good guy through and through – in fact when I was in Paris last month in a restaurant when I saw a sophisticated man talking to a woman at the next table, I thought ‘he is exactly as I imagined Olivier’. It’s an interesting story, and, to me, an insight into how truly vicious and vindictive unpleasant women can behave towards one another. It touches on the difficulties of modern family life, especially the jealousies and rivalries engendered by divorce and new family dynamics. And there are red herring and twists to the plot, whereby misunderstandings become huge problems, until all is finally resolved. This is a very rewarding, engrossing story that engages you from the first page. A really good read.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.excellent readBy gilly coxI can see that this debut novel would appeal to women and teens alike. It stirs the soul of every mother whose child has recently left home, and of every woman who doesn't know who to trust yet yearns for that elusive soulmate. At the same time it cleverly charts the growing up of the teen into a young woman exploring how far she can travel both in miles and in maturity. I found myself identifying with the teen from my own teen years, with teens from having raised one, together with the mother and all her complex emotions. Also good to hear chapters from the fathers perspective too. An evocative read.See all 7 customer reviews...
