Summary

 1960s fashion, affairs and heartbreak feature in THE DECISION from No 1 bestselling novelist Penny Vincenzi 'Teeming with memorable characters' Woman & Home

Set against a vibrant sixties backdrop, this is the story of two bright young things: Eliza, an ex-deb making a splash in the world of fashion, and Matt, a working-class boy carving out a serious name for himself in property. Their story begins with a love affair, closely followed by a marriage, followed by a baby. But whilst their relationship is at first fuelled by passion, it's not of the enduring kind, and soon what started out with such promise descends into a harrowing divorce case and an epic custody battle. With everything at stake for both Eliza and Matt, and neither party willing to give up their little girl without a fight, it's high drama in the courts. Let battle begin...

Critic reviews

'Teeming with memorable characters, this is pure pleasure, Vincenzi-style'
'Glamorous, weepy, indulgent and at times heartbreaking. Oh, and it has some racy bits, too. Hooray!'
'There are few things better in life than the knowledge that sitting on your bedside table is the latest novel by Penny Vincenzi... A gem, Penny never fails her devoted fans'
'This spectacular novel is utterly captivating'

The main characters were well drawn and there were some interesting themes. Found some characters stereotyped and there was a lot of clumsy phrasing.
The book was ridiculously long though. Found the child annoying, although it could have been the voice used.

Engrossing but needed editing

I have read every Vincenzi book and this was my first audio version. I really enjoyed it and the narrator was superb. I will be sticking with audio from now on as i was truely transported from London to Italy and back again, I loved it!!

Another recommendation that came up as I was trying to decide what I wanted to listen to.

I have so enjoyed the length of the book. Each characters story has been really well developed. Also a very interesting reminder of the 1960’s and 1970’s....how women were treated and expected to behave. You forget how much has changed!

I already have my next Penny Vincenzi in my library!

Thanks again Audible

I loved this book, a beautiful woven family story of love, laughter and tears. Laugh out loud witty in parts.

Pure escapism
