The Kissing Tree, by Prudence Bice

Even a couple of days after having finished The Kissing Tree, I do not know what to say about it that has not been said before.

It's a love story, one of those whose characters are meant to be since childhood and need only to look beyond their stuborness to find happiness.

The plotline is simple, but it raises a sense of doom in the reader - an anxiety concerning what bad thing is going to come up between the lovers now. This feeling keeps you wanting to read on until the moment has come and gone and you are now expecing something else. (I had to stop if reading for a few days due to work commitments, otherwise I'd have finished in a day!).

The conclusion is a bit unsatisfactory, mainly because the writer gives the reader to little information and leaves lots to their imaginagion, but the characters are lovely and funny and stupidly stubborn - and you can't help falling in love with them.

Recommended as a light read, especially to the last romantics out there...
