Riconfermo l’idea che mi ero fatta di Lucinda Riley: scrittura magnetica, incalzante, piena zeppa di avvenimenti che lasciano il lettore incollato alle pagine.

I suoi libri, per nulla piccoli, si divorano in pochissimo tempo e lasciano una bellissima sensazione.

Questo è il primo libro autoconclusivo che leggo dell’autrice e mi è piaciuto moltissimo.
All’interno ritroviamo temi importantissimi al giorno d’oggi. Alcune piaghe sociali vengono snocciolate con cura ed affrontate nel giusto modo.
Amore, tradimento, violenza domestica, delitto passionale e molto altro mi hanno accompagnata in questi giorni. Man mano che la lettura procede tutto inizia a sgretolarsi e sembra non esserci via d’uscita a tutto questo. Invece Posy, nonnina 70enne, rimette tutti i pezzi al loro posto.
Ma quando anche lei, dalla forza e dal coraggio enormi, crolla emotivamente... cosa accadrà a tutta la famiglia?

Io mi sono davvero affezionata ad alcuni personaggi. Altri li ho odiati profondamente.
Ho nutrito sentimenti di compassione, gioia, dolore e tristezza.

Consiglio questo libro agli amanti dei romanzi, ma di quelli che abbiano qualcosa da regalare che resti dentro.

Another absolutely fabulous read for me. Over 600 pages of family saga, secrets, love, death, acceptance, addiction told through a story across different generations.

The story centres around Posy from her childhood until her 70th birthday which lays bare the secrets a family can hold and the consequences of those secrets on others. Like each of Lucinda Riley’s books her characters are so well written - I adore them and you buy Into their lives from the first page and like The Love Letter I didn’t want this one to end either. Home appears to be a central theme and this book is no different - Admiral House sounds divine and the fact that characters are appealing no matter their ages makes this for a superb read.
