I think she set up the "act" very romantically and lovingly. I don't need details to get the gist that sex happened and a bond occurred between the two people involved. (less)

I LOVE Susanna Kearsley's books and have read them all! Anyone have any recommendations for books that are similiar? I occasionally stumble upon one but she really seems to have a unique, special style. (Also, I've already read all the Outlander books, so don't recommend those please!) Thanks!

They're a similar time frame with lots of characters in an epic story. There isn't the time travel element, but a few Outlander characters do make cameo appearances. I love Outlander, and really enjoyed Into the Wilderness. Good luck!

I don't remember how Carrie and Sophia are related? Would that make Carrie and Graham related? This is why I can't do my family tree- I get easily confused with all this! LOL

I have found that I can create talking points about just about any book and it generates talk that the group of about 10 enjoys for an hour to 90 min. Try googling for discussion questions about any book and get some ideas as a starting point. I usually tweak the questions to suit our group and make them less like an essay question! But if your group just wants to have a spontaneous conversation without "discussion starters" then maybe not. I have found a group needs a prompt to get them thinking outside the box.(less)
