Reviews

'A Hidden Life by Adele Geras shows that the romantic novel is alive and well. It has a vindictive family will, affairs galore, long-lost relations appearing out of the woodwork and, above all, the good characters being rewarded and the morally suspect getting their just desserts' -- Rodney Troubridge THE BOOKSELLER 'I love books about books. I love books with interesting plots and well-written dialog that makes you want to read without interruption. A Hidden Life has all of this. I encourage everyone to read it!' EX LIBRIS 'I think its one of her best yet - a family saga in which a will sets the cat among the pigeons, providing a very satisfying read from conflict to resolution. Don't forget this for Christmas fiction shelves and Mother's Day; it would make a great gift for any lover of this genre!' -- SUE BAKER PUBLISHING NEWS 'As youd expect from Adele this is an intelligent and entertaining novel which appeals the literary palate just as much as it tickles the guilty pleasure taste buds...It is honest, acutely observed writing which has relationships spot on.
