Hope you all have a good day planned, the sun hopefully will be shinning outside... however this is England so anything could happen, like rain or even snow in June!! Moving on, I wanted to share with a book from Madeleine Wickham, the other name you might know her as is Sophine Kinsella. She writes under two different names for the two different tones of her writing style. (Ps Madeleine Wickham is her real name).
The book I want to share with you is Sleeping Arrangements.
Chloe needs a holiday. She's sick of making wedding
dresses and her partner is having trouble at work.
Her wealthy friend Gerard has offered the loan of
his luxury villa in Spain - perfect.
Hugh is not a happy man. His immaculate wide seems
more interested in the granite for the new kitchen than in
him, and he works so hard to pay for it all, he barely has
time to see their children. But his old schoolfriend Gerard
has lent them a luxury villa in Spain - perfect.
Both families arrive at the villa and get a shock: Gerard has
double-booked. An uneasy week of sharing begins, and
tensions soon mounts in the soaring heat. But there's also a
secret history between the families - and as tempers fray,
an old passion begins to resurface...
I read this book while on my holidays at the beginning of the year, and sitting on a beach reading about other people on a beach did help the mood... Unlike the rain outside in JUNE in ENGLAND!! This book is a story of two families and their problems, plus a link between them that takes them back many years unknown to some. It has a tale of lies, mistakes, but also what ifs that we all think about in our life... Dream of what could of been.
Its a good book to take to the beach.. or the park to read, but to dream of your holiday away... make sure you aren't booking it through your old friend Gerard.
I hope you enjoy this book,
Till next time,
Love Lolly
xoxo
