The Long Weekend: ‘By the time you read this, I’ll have killed one of your husbands’

Product Information

Once the women arrived at Dark Fell Barn, they proceeded to do nothing that would equate to the intent to have a fun weekend holiday. Simone had been bullied because of her weight as a teenager and was now an Instagram star who wasn’t particularly happy while Beth was there under false pretenses. It is still a very good read, atmospheric and a little disturbing as a group of friends on an isolated holiday receive a strange message. I was lucky enough to be selected to preview The Long Weekend by Fiona Palmer and what a privilege it was to read!

The Long Weekend: Life in the English Country House Between

You could treat the kids to the thrills and spills of Aqua Natura Waterpark or marvel at the works of Gaudi at La Sagrada Familia . The author sensitively dealt with some pertinent issues including self image, trauma, emotional baggage, bullying – and the one that resonated most with me, Post Natal Depression. This is one of the best written, complex, twisty, extra smart and most intense stories Gilly MacMillan created!My only negative is the initial jumping from character to character takes some getting used to and so it doesn’t flow well at the start. Likewise, the ending wasn't one of those "everyone lived happily ever after" types that are pretty common and very unrealistic.

The Elliotts own Dark Fell Barn, a holiday rental, to which Jayne (ex army intelligence), Ruth (a doctor and struggling new mum) and Emily (a much younger new bride) arrive a day in advance of their husbands.The fuel added to the fire is a note and gift delivered earlier in the day by a courier from Edie, newly widowed and not part of the weekend fun.

I kept reading for the "big reveal" but honestly, once that happens, the plot falls apart even more.And it kind of highlights how we all face the same types of problems in our relationships as we go through life, gay or straight. Plot twists abound and the pace is break-neck – with suspicion rife among almost all the characters. Meanwhile, a new generation bought or (more often) rented their own grand houses, many of them facilitated in this not too long afterwards by the depression, when the market was flooded with such properties.

Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). Drawing on hundreds of memoirs, on unpublished letters and diaries, on the eye-witness testimonies of belted earls and unhappy heiresses and bullying butlers, The Long Weekend gives a voice to the people who inhabited this world. However, after the farmer had driven them up to the isolated barn and left them on their own, they found a disturbing letter which would change everything for them. Whilst I dream of this kind of opportunity coming my way, I will express my thoughts around The Long Weekend, the new contemporary release from bestselling author Fiona Palmer. Simone is an Instagram influencer who’s been tasked with writing a book about her rise to fame, and doesn’t really know where to start – or how many secrets she should include.Jaimie is a personal trainer, looking for writing inspiration, who is surprised to see Alice at the retreat – it’s nothing the first time they’ve met.
