LoveReading Says

Within the first two pages the author gives us a clue that there is a mystery behind the child Daisy which lures us to read on with the story beginning in India and then shifting to England.  Daisy shows early signs of acting talent, encouraged by her mother.  Margaret James has an ability to transport us back into an age where life moved more slowly and moments were more savoured.  Then morality was tighter and women were definitely at a disadvantage in the big wide world. The heroine grows up to become a touring actress and falls in love with two very different men, having turned away from her parents.  The title takes its name from the gift of a gold chain by one of the men she falls in love with.  The theme is all about choices - the different life directions that she takes as a result and the differing conclusions that follow at each cross roads of decision making.   I found myself so immersed in Daisy’s dilemmas that I didn’t notice how long I had been reading;  well written too and thought provoking and I would certainly recommend it for lovers of a really good tale set against a broad historical landscape.
