pickI enjoyed this compelling and engaging story. It‘s quite a slow burner with an almost episodic feel. It‘s easy to read with well drawn, realistically portrayed characters and there is a good sense of time and place. I found it quitegripping and I could virtually feel the fear and frustrations. It would appear Adélaïde was quite the trailblazer and very much an inspirational woman. An interesting and informative read. #TBC on Facebook
pickI very much enjoyed this compelling tale. It‘s an easy and gripping read, a page turner. The parts touching on the Greenham Common protests are fascinating. I can remember the women‘s peace camp happening but some details are hazy. What brave and resilient ladies they were! The story itself is well put together and the characters are well drawn. It really drew me in, I found it hard to put down and was sad to turn the last page. #TBC
A book to review. Emily Gunnis is the daughter of the late author, Penny Vincenzi. I‘ve always enjoyed Penny‘s books, especially the ‘Spoils of Time‘ trilogy, so am looking to reading Emily‘s. #TBC on Facebook.
pickA dark tale full of atmosphere and creepy goings on. It‘s fast paced and takes the reader on very much of an adventure, very like being on a rollercoaster - I‘d definitely have my eyes closed on this white knuckle ride! I was gripped from the beginning, keeping my attention throughout until the exciting ending. A wolfishly good read! Just keep those mobile phones and tablets switched off as you never know who might be looking for you! 👀 #TBC
pickI enjoyed this thoughtful story about families and finding your place in the world. It‘s an emotional tale at times and it takes the reader on quite a rollercoaster of a journey. Life isn‘t always easy as Jane finds out. It‘s easy to empathise with Jane as she deals with her pre-teen daughter and her father. Her relationship with Claire is particularly well observed and very perceptive. An engaging, well paced and engrossing page turner. #TBC
pickThis is a quirky story about friendship, grief, guilt and finding yourself. There are lessons to be learnt here - to live in the moment and not look too far into the future as that can be quite a minefield for the brain. It‘s a well written book with some fascinating characters, although I did find Robin a little immature for his years. There are some very humorous moments as well moving ones. A heartwarming, engaging and enjoyable read. #TBC
pickThis is a very atmospheric and dark story, eerily gothic in its telling. I loved the setting! Venice is an extraordinary city. Fiction is combined with fact to treat the reader to a fantastic tale of intrigue and adventure. Cleverly written to include certain poems and writings by Byron and presenting some fascinating real life as well as fictional characters, ‘Dangerous‘ is an exciting and engaging historical mystery which is sure to enthrall.
