Questo romanzo è la scelta di un book club inglese. L'ho letto per quello, perché di solito leggo più biografie e racconti di vita.
È abbastanza scorrevole ma ho trovato molte cose un poco improbabili.

An amazing gripping story...could not put the book down until I finished it!!

La storia è coinvolgente, con un ritmo perfetto.
La trama è avvincente. Tornare alla Parigi dell'occupazione tedesca attraverso i racconti del vecchio vignaiolo mi hanno rapita.
L'ho letto tutto d'un fiato.

Ultimo libro di Lucinda Riley che mi mancava. Appassionata di ogni suo libro, anche questo non delude :)
In attesa di altri scritti ;)

Between past and present

Recensito in Italia 🇮🇹 il 20 luglio 2017

Very enjoyable novel, as in Lucinda Riley's style, set between modern day and the past, in this case WW2. Lovely female characters, interesting and complex male characters and family secrets unravelled make the story intriguing and make you eager to read further. I would recommend it to all those, who, like me, love revealing mysteries which root into the past.

Non è molto originale come storia

Un romanzo un po’ debole sia come storia che come protagonisti

Autrice bravissima nella scrittura e nell’inventare storie parallele che tengono sulle spine

Good 'holiday' (lockdown?) reading

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 1 maggio 2020

One thing I must say about Lucinda Riley is that she is extremely good at plots.....she researches her novels deeply and well. Her ideas are stunning, and mostly her characters are very interesting and by and large three dimensional......except that all her women are beautiful, her men handsome and by and large they are actually rather wealthy.....so far so chick-lit. My cavill would be that these novels do not give you a literary read, which is fine for mmany people. There is a lot of dialogue, and a slight lack of interesting descriptive prose. The word 'surreal' crops up quite often, occasionally anachronistically. There is a flippancy about some of her female characters' speech. Reading the novels is great for a few books, then you get that urge to switch to some more literary work and to seek some truth and something 'real'.

Wonderful!

Sometimes you read a book which you can't put down and yet you never want to finish! This is such a book. In my view there aren't enough superlatives to describe it: wonderful, brilliant, enthralling ... I love books set in dual time-scales and especially if they involve the Second World War. Both stories were wonderful and the way in which they linked up was brilliant, even if the ending was slightly predictable. Having said that, it was the ending that I wanted so I was very glad that my predictions were correct. It was an exceptional book, which will be a hard act to follow - it's highly recommended as it's just so excellent! I loved it!

Well-plotted two narrative beach read

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 22 ottobre 2017

My first Lucinda Riley novel. It's an extremely well-plotted two narrative story, with a really gripping WW2 historical thread. I'm fascinated by those who served as SOE officers so was particularly interested. I really felt for Constance, forced by circumstance, to endure a "quiet war," which turned out as anything but. The story set in 1999 was enjoyable but not quite as engrossing. The book is slow to get going. In fact, I began it only to abandon it to read something else. I'm glad I went back as the last third was unputdownable. Some stilted dialogue aside, this is an absorbing beach read. It's great to find a new author and I'm looking forward to reading more.

Couldn't put his book down

I've been reading Lucinda Reilly's Seven Sisters series and thought I'd try another by her. I was not disappointed. What a great book, what a beautifully told story. I'm bereft that I've finished it. Thoroughly recommend it.

Absolutely wonderful

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 7 settembre 2021

Another wonderful book by Lucinda Riley, set in France in the late 20th century, we meet Emilie who has recently lost her mother and has returned home to the family Chateau . Through Emilie and her father’s friend Jacques we meet Constance, a young office clerk in England who has been drafted into the SOE and sent to France in 1943. The story moves backwards and forwards with such ease, as Lucinda’s books often do , that the reader is swept up in a tale of love, loss and intrigue that is truly fabulous .
