   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  TheReadingShed001 | Mar 1, 2023 |   The characters were likeable and the storyline well written. I loved the intrigue and the not knowing what would actually happen next. You really had no clue as to just what was round the corner. I felt quite sad when I turned the final page but I also felt content that this wonderful book had been in my hands and that other readers are guaranteed to enjoy more of Cathy Bramley’s work just as I have. Thanks must go to the Publishers and Netgalley for the arc and giving me the opportunity to have my own honest review (  ) TheReadingShed01 | Feb 25, 2023 | There's a low-key romantic thread involving Rosie, and another involving her grandmother, Maria. There's a mystery from Maria's past which is eventually solved, and there's a threat of a new superstore which may put the local shops out of business. There are some significant contemporary issues touched upon, and a few unexpected turnings too. Quite informal, happily without 'strong' language or detailed scenes of intimacy or violence. Some likeable characters; I was particularly keen on four-year-old Noah and the elderly Stanley. Perhaps too many minor characters, who aren't really three-dimensional, but it didn't much matter. It took a while to get into this book, but then I could hardly put it down in the final few chapters. Undemanding with an encouraging ending, this would make excellent holiday reading for anyone who likes women's fiction with a bit of depth. Some rather tasty looking recipes at the end, too.

(  ) SueinCyprus | Jul 1, 2019 | The trips to Sorrento brought back memories of a happy holiday, and the Nonna element was well done. All in all, this was a good read but nothing too special or taxing. (  ) peelap | Feb 3, 2019 | Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
