The Butterfly Room

Product Information

Much of the story is set in Southwold, Suffolk. Do you have a personal connection to the town, or is there something else that inspired you to write about it? I love multi-generational sagas. They are such a great break from all the thrillers I love reading and this one came at the perfect time. I was able to lose myself in Posy’s world and what a story it was. Starting when she was young and then jumping to when she is almost 70, I immediately found myself engrossed in this story. Posy has not had the most happy of childhoods and even later in life, she has encountered a few obstacles. Now she is nearing the end of her life and trying to decide whether she should scale down. This epic saga was beautifully written with enticingly mysterious and cleverly intertwining storylines that were threaded with a few heavy secrets and shattering tragedies that this grievously wily author used to taunt and tease me while brutally dangling them rather barbarously out of my reach.

Admiral House is almost a character of its own in the story. Is it based on a house that you’ve been to? Both Tammy and Sebastian begin the book as outsiders, but then become a part of the Montague family. What does ‘family’ mean to you and how did that influence your writing in ‘ The Butterfly Room’? Which is a complete load of crap. The reason they cannot be together simply no longer exists - if indeed it ever did.They're dead! They're dead! They're dead! How could he have lied to me?' I shouted in between sobs. Are you working on anything else at the moment and can we expect more standalone novels in the future?

Freddie and Posy’s love spans decades. Do you believe there is such a thing as ‘the One’ for every person? I'm Kristin. I always have a book with me wherever I go! I am married and have two chocolate labs - Maddie and Chloe. In addition to reading, I also enjoy yoga and walking - I am a big audio fan and love listening to audio books while out walking! This is a sprawling family drama beginning with Posy in 1940's and then herself and her family 60 years later. I loved the build up of the story and meeting everyone - this author is such a great story teller. Otra cosa que me ha terminado molestando es esa apología al consumo continuado de alcohol, ¡por Dios! ¿Cuánto vino y cuánto champán se puede beber en un libro de 540 páginas? Pues mucho ya os lo digo, la tónica de esta historia es: llego a casa y copita de vino, quedo con alguien a las 16h y copita, visito a alguien ¿quieres un brandy?… Creo que se deberían cuidar estas cosas en la literatura para no normalizar tanto el consumo sea como sea la realidad.Aparte de esto os cuento un poco lo que vais a encontrar. Es un libro narrado en dos tiempos, el primero nos muestra a una protagonista (Posy) desde su infancia hasta su juventud y el segundo en una Posy de 70 años. Los bloques de historia se van alternando de modo que vamos conociendo cosas del pasado que nos hacen ir entendiendo lo que pasa en la actualidad.

The Butterfly Room by Lucinda Riley | Goodreads

This epic saga was beautifully written with enticingly mysterious and cleverly intertwining storylines that were threaded with a few heavy secrets and shattering tragedies that this grievously wily author used to taunt and tease me while brutally dangling them rather barbarously out of my reach. I was invested and immersed in the complexities of the characters’ overlapping and oddly compelling family dynamics after being bewitched and pleasantly enthralled by Posy’s early childhood history and interactions with her beloved father. But there was something not quite right about her household and I had numerous suspicions and licentious theories, many of which were incorrect, but I wasn’t too far afield as the long-held secrets had been scandalous in their time as well as heartbreaking. This was my first experience reading this master-storyteller and where have I been, she has written thirty books already? We discover how Posy’s childhood affected her adult life. There are plenty of secrets and twists along the way.the dress—a shimmering cream 1930s vintage piece that covered the lumps and bumps that age had brought, and didn’t make her look like a ship in full sail. My Review: This was my first Lucinda Riley Novel and the description on the blurb appealed to me. A story set the beautiful Suffolk countryside in England, Posy Montague approaching her seventieth birthday and still living in the family home of Admiral House where history and secrets abound. When a face appears from her past, Posy is reluctant to trust again. A story about family and romance set between the years 1940s and 2006.

They call a spade a spade, whereas women are more likely to say it’s a metal digging implement used in the garden.
