Su vida se ha vuelto monocorde y sólo desea regresar al bullicio de Londres, hasta que inaugure un curioso bazar en donde se darán cita diversos personajes que le cambiarán su modo de ver la vida. Además, sabrá qué clase de arrebatada y trágica historia de amor marcó el destino de sus padres. y dejará que el verdadero amor entre en su vida. Contrary to Moyes usual likeable heroines , the main character is as deliberately unlikeable* as possible . I suspect Moyes was trying to write a successful romance with an unlikeable heroine since romance heroines are always so perfect. Unfortunately , I did not find the theme of the book romantic and didn't like the heroine enough to wish her a HEA. As always Moyes writing style and language are lovely and it was a well laid plot. I read till the end but I hope she returns to her intensely likeable characters. Edit: Mystery solved, apparently this is actually an early book from her released in the U.K. in 2004 but just recently released in the U.S. *I found her childish, selfish, and dishonest. After several more (nearly) sleepless nights I finished this book. Like I wrote earlier, it's a good read for the middle of the night. To be honest, I was happy it didn't turn out to be a real romance book. It had too much of family trouble and violence in it (imho). At times I was confused about who was the I that was talking to me, but all in all it was a nice read. I think Athena could have had a bigger role, and I'm not happy being left with not knowing who Susanna's father really is. Unfortunately I had a bad night's sleep, so I ended up grabbing my e-reader to settle my thoughts and maybe, just maybe fall asleep again. This book is perfect to read in the middle of the night. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:An early work from the New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars and the forthcoming Someone Else's Shoes, Jojo Moyes, the story of a young woman who opens an eclectic shop and comes to terms with the secrets of her past. In the sixties, Athene Forster was the most glamorous girl of her generation. Nicknamed the Last Deb, she was also beautiful, spoiled, and out of control. When she agreed to marry the gorgeous young heir Douglas Fairley-Hulme, her parents breathed a sigh of relief. But within two years, rumors had begun to circulate about Athene's affair with a young salesman. Thirty-five years later, Suzanna Peacock is struggling with her notorious mother's legacy. The only place Suzanna finds comfort is in The Peacock Emporium, the beautiful coffee bar and shop she opens that soon enchants her little town. There she makes perhaps the first real friends of her life, including Alejandro, a male midwife, escaping his own ghosts in Argentina. The specter of her mother still haunts Suzanna. But only by confronting both her family and her innermost self will she finally reckon with the pastâ??and discover that the key to her history, and her happiness, may have been in front of her all alo Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
