An enjoyable read, although i had sussed out Victor quite early on.. I would buy her books again. ( ) I had to really sit down and take a deep breath before writing this review…. Maybe I needed a few drinks before reading this and I would have liked it more. I honestly have to say that this book was seriously one of the worst books I have read in a very long time. I do not know where to start. First, the paragraphs had me so confused because one moment it would be talking about one character and the next here we were in conversation with two different characters. This book is about three women who are very different and hardly know each other, but decide to open a wine bar together. There is everything from a husband who likes to dress as a woman, a psychotic brother, a depressed man, a single mom with three bad kids, a woman who only cries for her dogs, a pill-popper, and a crazy ex-girlfriend. This book was way to left field for me. Now, the only reason I did give the book one star (besides the fact that I have to give it something) is Sam. I adored him but for real, he needed to grow up and be a man and say No! He needs to run very fast because who wants an egotistical winch like that. This book is in serious need of an editor because I do not know how it was published. Sorry, it is just one star as I found this book very difficult to read because of the sudden switches of scenery and characters which were not marked in any way (i.e. as you are reading about one character the following sentence would be about someone else in a completely different scene). The story itself was not bad. Incidentally, I read the Kindle edition. It is a brave writer who has mental health issues running through what can be classed as chick lit, or romantic fiction. But in the hands of Jane Wenham-Jones this is done with respect and understanding. Ms Wenham-Jones also has that rare skill in her genre of making the romance sensuous without graphic description - the growing attraction between Sam and Gaynor in this novel is a case in point. One Glass is Never Enough is a page-turner of story-telling excellence. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
This work is delightfully sparkling, like champagne, with the deep undertones of a fine claret. There is widespread media campaign including national newspapers reviews and numerous BBC Radio interviews. Jane will be appearing at The Guildford Book Festival in October. Book launch and signing tour is in place. This work talks about three women, one bar and three different reasons for buying it. Single mother Sarah needs a home for her children; Claire's an ambitious business woman. For wealthy Gaynor, Greens Wine Bar is just one more amusement. Or is it? On the surface, Gaynor has it all - money, looks, a beautiful home in the picturesque seaside town of Broadstairs, and Victor - her generous, successful husband. But while Sarah longs for love and Claire is making money, Gaynor wants answers. Why is Victor behaving strangely and who does he see on his frequent trips away? What's behind the threatening phone-calls? As the bar takes off, Gaynor's life starts to fall apart. Into her turmoil comes Sam - strong and silent with a hidden past. Theirs is an unlikely friendship but then nobody is quite what they seem in this tale of love, loss and betrayal set against the middle-class dream of owning a wine bar. As Gaynor's confusion grows, events unfold that will change all of their lives forever... Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
