Product Information

With capacities ranging from two to 40, you can create the perfect environment for fulfilling your needs (with the help of the expert events team, of course). As Lizzie learns more about Lucie, doubts about the circumstances of Diner’s first marriage start to surface – doubts the reader may have shared since the opening of the novel. Personally, I think this book was in desperate need of a good edit; the dialogue was repetitive and the conversations too long and full of uninteresting comments I couldn’t care less about.

Soon his plans for a magnificent terrace built above the two-hundred-foot drop of the Gorge come under threat. But he is doing the work on borrowed money, and the events in France, with the attendant possibility of war, are scaring off potential investors.Some of these risks might be mitigated by choosing a suitable development partner, although the inherent risk would still be significant. But she has recently married John Diner Tredevant, a property developer who is heavily invested in Bristol’s housing boom, and he has everything to lose from social upheaval and the prospect of war. I'm not sure at what point creating an authentic background becomes information overload but, wherever the line is, for me this book crossed it. Dunmore has managed to bring life into characters that existed (or some have) in real life, with such intensity that makes you forget yourself, all set into motion from a small script on a headstone!

As this gives such a fascinating insight into life for women in Georgian England - not only was this a thrilling read it also gave me an impactful look at British history. Our paints are fast drying and washable, making it ideal for any interior walls, including kitchens and bathrooms.

Helen Dunmore’s untimely death earlier this year sadly means there will be no more books from this talented author but, as far as ‘what is left behind by a life’, in her case it is a legacy of intriguing, thoughtful literature.
