The Butterfly Room

Product Information

En definitiva que es un libro que entretiene pero que a veces se hace un poco pesado. ¿Tenéis ganas de leerlo queridas y queridos? Lucinda Riley vorbește despre secretele de familie și despre evoluția lor în timp. Acțiunea romanului se desfășoară pe două planuri diferite, despărțite de 66 de ani, acest interval micșorându-se treptat pe măsură ce Posy, eroina principală își povestește viața. Lucinda Riley always writes characters that are memorable, identifiable and most of all loveable. These qualities are all in Posy, who has led a varied, and a times hard life, which is why I loved her tenacity and positivity towards life. She looses her beloved father at only seven years old, and as a result her mother when she went to live with her grandmother. Loss seems to be a common denominator in life as she is left widowed with two young children after her return to Admiral House, the place where she was happiest with her father. Still there at seventy she is considering selling as she can’t afford the upkeep, but she may have another chance of love with Freddie. For all Posy was my favourite character, her son Sam had to be my least favourite. Sam always has some new business venture going on but never any money or success which he always blames on someone else. The person most effected by this is his long suffering wife Amy, and two young children, who manages to work and look after the children without much help from her husband. Amy is the other character I took to my heart, her love for her children, always trying to do the right thing and her loyalty to Sam were admiral qualities but she does deserve better.

They're dead! They're dead! They're dead! How could he have lied to me?' I shouted in between sobs.

The Butterfly Room by Lucinda Riley - Always With a Book Review: The Butterfly Room by Lucinda Riley - Always With a Book

Be warned - you will need tissues. Close to the end I found myself sobbing violently, not pretty crying with tears rolling silently down my cheeks, but the full on waterworks as I railed against the injustice of fate. But I finished with a sigh of pleasure and a smile of satisfaction. Her sons are at odds about their mother selling their childhood home and Posey is again in the middle. ​​ blogtour Adventure Ancient Egypt Art History Australia Book Blogger Bookliterati Book Recommendation Book review Christmas Contemporary Fiction Crime Del Rey Doubleday Emmeline Kirby and Gregory Longdon Mystery Fantasy Festive Reads Florence Folklore Harper Collins Historical Fiction History Independently Published Italy Karen Swan Literary Fiction Magic Mantle Books Melville House Murder Mystery Myth Orenda Books Pan Macmillan Penguin Random House Psychological thriller Romance Secrets Simon and Schuster Supernatural Suspense thriller Venice Women's Fiction Zaffre Books Book title Search for: Search Search Recent Comments A beautifully English family saga, with dramatic secrets from the past. Set in the idyllic coastal town of Southwold.Book Review: All Mixed Up (Common Threads #8) by Heidi Hutchinson @smartypantsromance @heidi_hutchinson October 23, 2023 The Butterfly Room, an all-new not-to-be-missed sweeping family saga from #1 International bestselling author Lucinda Riley, is available now! Everyone in this book has secrets. Very minor secrets that get blown way out of proportion to create the drama necessary for the storyline. No one will talk to anyone else to even give them a CHANCE to understand what is going on. 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?
