When this book landed on my doorstep I couldn’t wait to get started, it climbed straight to the top of my reading pile.
The last Jane Green novel I read was ‘The Accidental Husband’ which I really enjoyed and was hoping this would be just as good if not better. Of course Jane didn’t let me down.
This had my attention from start to finish. It’s been a while since I picked up a book that caught my interest as quickly as this, I found myself feeling attached to the characters very quickly, they all have their own traits that make you like them all for different reasons.
The lovely Liane Moriarty answers some question for all of you book lovers and Penguin fans!
Penguin books that is, but I do understand that everyone loves a flightless Antarctic bird.
This book is a bit of a feel good story of family and every day problems people face in life yet it is also a lot darker than one might think when they pick up this book!
Hearing the back story of Ella and Sebastian is something I enjoyed. When the secret was revealed I was surprised but it made sense and brought the story together for me and overall I did enjoy it enough to consider reading more of this authors work in future.
Down London Road is in a sense a sequel to Samantha Young’s ‘On Dublin Street’ which I have not yet read, the book follows a character who I know to be within the previous book but not the feature character, therefore this meant I could read Down London Road having not read on Dublin street and it didn’t really matter. Although I have been left definitely wanting to read On Dublin Street!
With only one day until the big publication day (Exciting!) and having already made nine stops on the blog tour we have learnt a lot about various characters from the book. Now it’s time to learn a little about Giovanna’s thoughts and experiences that have lead up to her debut novel.
