Sheltering Rain

On Coronation night the ex-pat community in Hong Kong gathers for a celebration party, and 21-year-old Joy falls in love at first sight. She is engaged within 24 hours, but will not see her fiancé again for a year. Fifteen years later, when Sabine, her mother and grandmother are brought together, not only a deeply buried family secret is discovered, but also some fundamental truths: about the conflict between love and duty, about women's choices, and about mothers and daughters.©2002 Jojo Moyes; (P)2003 W F Howes Ltd.

The importance of not making assumptions and enduring relationships

I enjoyed the different characters and how they interacted. The unexpected history which brought the characters to where they were and the reconciliations. A reminder of not to judge others as we don’t know the full story of their life’s journey
