It's taken me a while to get around to reading this sequel to James Long's Ferney. The novel centres on Jo and Luke, whose paths cross at an archaeological dig, and employs the time-slip sequences and glimpses into England's past that makes this continued love story a thoroughly enjoyable read.I was lucky enough to get an early look at this sequel to 'Ferney' . I had mixed feelings about that earlier book but actually felt that this was better..InFerney, we met two lovers with a very complicated history. They met when Ferney, an old man, watched as a young couple , Mike and Gally Martin, looked around a dilapidated cottage in the west country village of Penselwood. At least ,thats how it appeared at first..In the course of the story we learned that this was by no means Ferney and
This is the follow-up book to Ferney, which was a favorite of mine from last year. You need to read Ferney first to enjoy and understand this one. I liked this one almost as much. It had had all the history again, and the continuing lives of Gally and Ferney.

What can I say - I loved it! Definitely one of the best so far this year along with its prequal Ferney - may even have to get my own copies of both to keep and re-read!
I bought Fearny a couple of years ago in Gothenburg and started to read the book on the train home. I loved the book and when I found out that a sequel was going to be released, well it made me very happy. The Lives She Left Behind continue the story about Gally and Fearny 16 years after the ending in Fearny and they are now teenagers and destined to seek out each other since neither one of them can live without the other, together they are whole. The book was a bit slow to read, not as good as
I was not looking forward to reading the continuation of Ferney and Gally's story in The Lives She Left Behind. However, I was surprised to find that the sequel was far superior. The most redeeming feature for me was that Long Ferney and Gally realise the consequences of their desire for each other and their all consuming love. The plot for this book was driven more by the characters rather than the history of the village and not until the end does Long indulge in a couple of long historical
I loved this sequel to "Ferney". At first I was a little confused by the direction the story took as it didn't obviously seem to follow on from the first novel. However, by biding my time it all gradually became clear and was a fitting ending to the saga of Ferney and Gally. The story of these two old souls will stay with me for a long time which I feel is the sign of a good book.Although it's not strictly necessary to read the first book, I do feel that it provides a good background to this
