Recenzii
I adored The Wildflowers. A sweeping, epic, moving read
She reels you in and then you're hooked, right to the last page
A wonderful, engrossing novel, full of the most vivid characters and a truly memorable setting. A triumph
Atmospheric and altogether wonderful
Reminiscent of Santa Montefiore with the emotional heart of Jojo Moyes. You'll frequently find yourself uttering the words: just one more page
I love it on so many levels, the immense feeling of place, the slow, irresistible sense of being drawn deep into the family and its story, and the strange hovering of menace somewhere in the idyll. Wonderful
Richly layered . . . Oozing at the seams with scandal, secrets, sex and a whole host of unforgettable characters, this is a story to get truly lost in
A brilliant read
With plenty of family secrets, a gorgeous old house, an involving story featuring characters that leap off the page - there's nothing not to love about this captivating family saga
An evocative slice of escapism
Her characters are finely drawn and as the story hops back and forth from the Second World War to the present day, the reader becomes deeply immersed in this charismatic family's fortunes. The result is that rare and lovely thing, an all-engaging and all-consuming drama
Harriet Evans's characters are superb . . . vibrant, eccentric, emotional, masters and mistresses of high and low!
This beautifully written family saga will make you yearn for summer days
[A] sumptuous and emotional story
