I very much enjoyed Two for the Road by Amanda Hampson. Cassie Munro returns to her home town, Bilkara, to see her ill father. She has lived in London for 10 years after "running away" with the man who was to become her husband, as she sought to escape from the terrible consequences of a tragic accident. Cassie's father has a towing business and she soon learns that this is a very competitive business. Cassie is forced to confront the truth about her husband as well as the effects of the accident that happened in her teens, as she establishes a new life for herself. There are some wonderful characters in this book, incuding Kingi, Cassie's Maori mentor and friend; Avril, the long-suffering daughter of a hypochondriac mother; and Josie, Cassie's mother. 4/5
