Could ten days at a health resort really change you forever? These nine perfect strangers are about to find out.
Nine people gather at a remote health resort. Some are here to lose weight, some are here to get a reboot on life, some are here for reasons they can't even admit to themselves. Amidst all of the luxury and pampering, the mindfulness and meditation, they know these ten days might involve some real work. But none of them could imagine just how challenging the next ten days are going to be.
Frances Welty, the formerly best-selling romantic novelist, arrives at Tranquillum House nursing a bad back, a broken heart, and an exquisitely painful paper cut. She's immediately intrigued by her fellow guests. Most of them don't look to be in need of a health resort at all. But the person that intrigues her most is the strange and charismatic owner/director of Tranquillum House. Could this person really have the answers Frances didn't even know she was seeking? Should Frances put aside her doubts and immerse herself in everything Tranquillum House has to offer - or should she run while she still can?
It's not long before every guest at Tranquillum House is asking exactly the same question.

Absolutely wonderful book! Some say it's too slow, but I loved the insights into characters' past and into their minds and thinking patterns! It was fascinating to notice that some of them had minds working in similar fashion to mine.
The ending is a bit cheesy and quite predictable, but for me this book is not about the ending, it's more about the process. I found the book impossible to put down. I loved how all the little details were exactly right: the Russian words, the Soviet past, the fitness stuff.
I mostly did not like this book. I don't believe I've read Moriarty previously but the reviews were quite good. Nine people gather at a remote, expensive health resort, all for different reasons. It is run by Masha who thinks she is mother knows best. It is a people driven book but I kept waiting to find something deeper in all of them.
Like all of Liane's books, this is a page-turner.
I loved the unusual premise, like nothing I've read before.
Unique and thoroughly readable.
