Given to me for bookcrossing.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

This book is on its way to Italy as a controlled release to LindyLouMac as part of a book swap. Enjoy!

Arrived yesterday as a swap for The Pirates Daughter I arranged with ACE-W. Thanks maybe we can do it again sometime. I will add this title from My Wishlist to Mt TBR for now but plan to read it fairly soon.

I did enjoy this eventually; it took for me an exceptionally long time to read, over a week. I found it very slow and it took me ages to feel involved enough in the story to want to read much more than a chapter at a time. The first few chapters are important as they introduce the reader to the history of the heroine’s family background. At the time this may seem irrelevant but persevere and read beyond this and it will all click into place.
The protagonist is Suzanna Peacock who with her husband has returned to live in the small country town of her birth. An emotionally disturbed young woman she has a lot to come to terms with in her life, especially her past and the way her mother though long dead still seems to affect her happiness. The only place Suzanna seems to be comfortable with herself is in the Peacock Emporium the shop she opens and it is here we learn the stories of the complex cast of characters that are drawn to the Emporium. A series of dramatic events threaten Suzanna’s stability but in true chick lit style there is a happy ending.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

I gave this to my friend Melamura when they called in on Saturday.
Happy reading

I enjoyed this more than the other Jojo Moyes title I have read (Foreign Fruit). Quite a good story although I struggled to sympathise with Suzanna at times.
