One of the most powerful, emotional pieces of writing I've read recently. Wonderfully emotive and sad. I'm sure there are so many couples who can identify with this extremely well written, poignant story.

Another brilliantly crafted piece from Shayne Parkinson. Once more, she demonstrates the perfect balance of craft and creativity and her understanding of the human soul.

I absolutely hate reading short stories. I never buy or read them because they always have left me feeling short-changed. But Shayne Parkinson's All I Want is the exception. Just like her Promises to Keep quartet, this is an outstanding story that complements the world of Amy Lieth. Now, all I want is the next novel in the life of Amy Lieth.

I took in the beauty of this story as if I were sitting at the Pinnacle looking at the thread of blue on the edge of the world. All I Want is a tale of romance in early 20th century New Zealand, full of rich description with a neatly stitched social background balanced with a wider perspective of the Great War and, in looking to the past, one woman's calm acceptance of her life.

Brilliant piece of writing full of vivid descriptions of the landscape. The writer conveys the period convincingly; moreover, she writes as if she were living during the 1900s.
