SPARKLING DIALOGUE, AMUSING CHARACTERS (2008-07-02)

If you enjoyed the Shopaholic series which Wickham penned as Sophie Kinsella, you'll relish Sleeping Arrangements, especially as narrated by actress Katherine Kellgren. She has an appealing voice that easily expresses emotions with inflection or tone. Having appeared on the stage in London, New York, and Frankfurt, she's also a whiz at accents (many will remember her well for her reading of a Princess Diana bio). Careful listeners will note with appreciation how she carries off a change in the perfectionist, Amanda. Speaking of Amanda, she has a new kitchen which is her pride and joy. She's wed to Hugh, who labors almost 24/7 to keep her in the style she wishes. Nonetheless, Amanda always seems to find something else that needs to be bought or done. They have two young children, but Hugh feels like he's on a constant treadmill. What he needs is a respite, a vacation. Relief comes in the form of his good friend, Gerard, who lends the couple his luxurious villa in Spain. Chloe also needs a vacation from making wedding dresses. Her partner, Philip, has worries of his own - he's concerned that the takeover of his company may cost him his job. This once happy couple is enduring a strained relationship. You may have guessed - help comes in the form of Gerard who offers Chloe the use of his Spanish villa. Now, leave it to Wickham - Gerard has put both couples in the villa at the same time, and Chloe and Hugh aren't strangers - he's the guy who stole her heart some years back. What a mix-up or was it? Sparkling dialogue, likable, amusing characters, sharp wit are Wickham's trademarks, and they're all at the fore in this winsome, winning romance. - Gail Cooke
