An ok read... let me down (thinking of Kinsella's work)... nothing great, nothing outrageously different. In fact, as a parent, I felt Louise and Barnaby really failed Amelia and as an author, I feel the story was disjointed when Amelia wasn't included. Very average....KINSELLA DOES IT AGAIN! Is there any end to Sophie Kinsellas storytelling abilities? She weaves subplots and evokes varied emotions with grace and wit. I also get a kick out of her uniquely British language. It brings me back to her every time. I cant say Im a big fan of Womens Fiction, or less kindly referred to as Chick Lit but I appreciate a story that takes me out of myself if only for a few hours...
I love all books by Sophie Kinsella and decided to give her Madeline Wickham series a read. I was really disappointed with the book as a whole. I found it really confusing as it jumped around lots of different characters in the book. I also didn't find the storyline very gripping and actually couldn't wait to finish! (never thought I would say that about any of her books). I just hope that the rest of the series is good as i bought the box set!
It was... Meh. I love Sophie, I love her writing as Madeleine, but this book ranks second last, among the four books of hers that I've read. Better than Sleeping Arrangements. I love Barnaby, Alexis, Meredith. Hated Cassian. Loved his name but hated him.
I'm conflicted about this book - on one hand I loved it but on the other hand I hated and was irritated by it.I found myself hating so many of the main characters for being stupid and naive but this is how it happens in life sometimes.Louise irritated me, Ursula irritated me....The only character I loved and wanted to know all about was Meredith. She seemed as the only sane and real person.I love all the other Madeleine Wickham's book as Sophie Kinsella but i wouldn't recommend this one to
In this retelling of Dickens Bleak House Wickham really has it in for lawyers and law suits. Although not as perfectly integrated as say Clueless, Wickham does a nice job with a familiar and classic storyline. In case you doubt the connection: Jarndice= the DelanaysEsther Summerson = MeredithLady Deadlock = SylviaTulkinghorn = CassionRichard Carstone = the KembersAda Clare = DaisyPlus I know there are characters Im forgetting because I havent read Bleak House in a long time.Im glad I read this
It's not a perfectly constructed story, but is was a surprisingly good read. It's a pre-Shopaholic novel written under her real name, and when I saw it on my e-book library site, I knew I had to read it.MW beautifully captures the undercurrent of this small village near London. It's the story of two families who are both touched by tragedy. The Delaneys, Ursula and Hugh, have lost their younger son and are still grieving his death. His widow Meredith is living with them and has truly become
