Product Information

All for the deeds of his house when he passes on, which should be soon they think, as he has no family.

If you like this book, you might also enjoy Blue Slipper Bay by Wendy K Harris, or Uphill All the Way by Sue Moorcroft. Violinist Isabel has been recently widowed and been left a whole lot of debt so, being left The Spanish house is the last resort, after their beautiful home in Maida Vale in London. So, if you're looking for a book settled in English countryside talking about people fighting over an old mansion, you can give this one a shot.It was beautiful to watch Isabel come into her own as a mother and start making sacrifices for her children. She lives, breathes and speaks music and is an accomplished professional violin player which sees her travelling round the world. Matt and his wife Laura are obsessed with the idea of owning Spanish House when its cantankerous and demanding owner Mr Pottisworth dies. I wasn't sure what to expect, typical, predictable chick-lit, or something with more depth, and I got the latter.

This might have been enjoyable if the main characters hadn't been so thoroughly unlikeable, they were either thick-self-pitying-doormats or weird entitled maniacs. Stereotypes feel familiar, after all, and I knew these people would remain in character and play their parts correctly. And of course Isabel is so incredibly gullible and naive with things like this so she doesn’t see what’s happening right under her nose. I have often found books with a lot of hype surrounding them to be a bit disappointing when I get around to reading them, as was also the case with THE HUSBAND'S SECRET by Liane Moriarty.

Aber, da ich ein Jojo Moyes Fan bin, mochte ich das Buch auch mit diesen Einschränkungen und habe ich jedes Mal gefreut, wenn ich Zeit hatte, weiterzulesen. I love it when the author shapes the story around characters, rather than making it seem as though the characters are merely bi-product of a plot outline, so this was perfect for me. At the beginning, she appears to put her music before her family, sticks her head in the sand when faced with problems and is so incredibly gullible and naive it made me want to scream!
