An engaging and very satisfying read - one for every woman to relish and enjoy! Roxy is married to Dave, the love of her life and the only man she's been with. Looking after her husband and their two children fills her days, but when her father is terminally ill, she offers her mother all the support she can. Popping home unexpectedly she is shocked and stunned to find Dave in bed with their buxom neighbour and her life stops. Suddenly, Roxy has to consider her own feelings ahead of everyone else's and that comes as a real eye-opener to her husband. I've been a fan of Sheila O'Flanagan's writing for a long time, and have probably devoured every book she has produced. As with all other Irish writers, there's something special about her novels, and Her Husband's Mistake is no exception. A wonderful read, totally absorbing and completely rewarding. It's not easy to imagine being in Roxy's position but the skilled writing draws the reader into the story, and before long I was completely involved. I have sighed, tutted, smiled, laughed, almost cried and cheered all the way through! A very touching and honest novel about a woman - wife and mother - struggling to find her place in the modern world and a very observant and page turning read. A powerful, ponderous read which I've loved everything about so definitely a full five stars for this one!
