• Liza lives and works with her family and friends in Silver Bay. A small community in Australia where she works in her family hotel and taking tourists out to see the dolphins and the whales. Along comes Mike to develop the bay and maybe even knock down the hotel. Eventually Mike falls in love with Liza and the community and decides to try to stop the development. This is not without uncovering secrets along the way. A pleasant story told from the point of view of the different cahracters in the book. Not an over taxing read but pleasant all the same.

• This novel about an Australian village’s fight against greedy developers takes a long time (probably half of the book) until Jojo Moyes really gets to the point. But when she does, it’s an engaging eco love story – with nice twists, colorful characters, and a moving ‘lost child’ subplot.

• English businessman Mike Dormer travels to quiet bay on NSW coast to push for a luxury resort development. Instead he becomes sucked into the calmer lives of the residents, especially his hotelier's distant, traumatised niece and her daughter. Nice premise but felt bogged down by the author's choice to tell the story from multiple points of view, slowing the pacing. This wouldn't have been such as issue if the various pov characters' voices had been more distinctive. Instead they came across as rather the same, as in all feeling like the author's voice.
