About this deal

On the one hand, I can see elements of Hoffman's style, which she has honed and crafted into a wondrous thing, richly adored by so many readers (myself included). Book One of The Rockwood Chronicles ‘I literally could not put this book down’⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐‘Dilly Court never disappoints . THE writing is confident, powerful and essentially laconic, but it is also lush; description is limited but rich, vivid and sharp. Wealthy Piers Blanchard arrives at the castle to tell Rosalind that he is the rightful owner and he allows Rosalind and her family to continue living there. Her devotion to location, description of climate and flora, as well as simple, everyday fancy does neatly embroider a mostly mediocre novel.

The third person narrative skates deftly from the present to the past to the tangential past as we look back at Lila's memories.She is married with two grown-up children, four grandchildren, and three beautiful great-grandchildren. Rae Perry is a defiant teenager from a well-off Newton, Massachusetts home with a mostly-absent, career-obsessed father and a mother who is trying her best but not succeeding. This is a tale of tragedy, hope, and forgiveness, and how small missteps can irrevocably change the lives of our protagonists, and those around them.

This fierce and beautiful story charts the histories of two women: Rae, young and unmarried and far from home, awaits the birth of her first child.There are so many twists and turns along the way this book will keep you gripped from start to finish. I can't stay that I loved the main characters in this book - they are definitely flawed, complicated, and don't always make the best choices (or ones I agree with)- but they still felt real. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This contemporary world is set against a series of Russian folktales told by an old woman who lives at the edge of Manhattan, in a place so well hidden it can only be found once in a lifetime.
