Occasion Of Sin

by Rachel Billington

Succesfully married, a loving mother, clever career woman and staunch Catholic, Laura imagined that her life was safely under control. Then, to her dismay, she falls passionately in love with Martin and her secure existence fragments into chaos, leaving her buffeted by elation, guilt and desire. Laura finds herself forced to choose between her lover and her son - and the story of her painful struggle to reconcile her commitments to her faith, her family and herself makes a magnificent and unforgettable novel.

Why did I buy this?

[Karen]

Finished - NOT! Just could not get into this book. The main character, Laura, is very wishy-washy. About 60 pages in I gave up.

[Jean Brodie · Rating 1 out of 5]

This falls into the "I only finished this book because I always finish books " category. Might have given in 2 stars if it had been 30% shorter
