Never Greener

Product Information

She captures the everyday lives of her characters, she injects humour and laughter in with the total devastation and sadness, she keeps it incredibly real and believable. Ancora noi è uno di quei libri che rientrano in questa categoria dove si intrecciano il romanticismo, il divertimento e l’amore sofferto. Indeed, the most moving scenes here are not the grand declarations of passion, but glimpses of her professional life.

Rather it pulls on Jones's other strength: writing strong and identifiable characters that pull you into their lives from the first pages. In contrast, those weaker souls: the acquiescing Matt, the unsuspecting Belinda, the bumbling Hetty, they begin to shine. If you loved your wife so much you would not have looked elsewhere is all you think through the whole book.

There is a huge cast of characters whose viewpoints are examined which did make the book drag a little and I felt the book lost its momentum slightly at times (I wondered if I felt this way because it was an audiobook and pacing is so important when listening rather than reading.

I would recommend it as beach read as you really can lost in it – the amount of times I sat outside work to listen to the end of a chapter was unreal (I’ll soon find out if my boss reads my blog won’t I? Molto dignitosi ho trovato i consorti, che nonostante l'amore che provano per i protagonisti hanno la forza di rialzarsi perché non tutto è perduto, la loro vita va avanti.

It's an absolute stunner of a read, and I just know that this one is going to find a spot in my best reads of the year list. But Jones teases out that last quarter beautifully and maintains that sense of pace and the compulsion to keep reading right through to the final paragraphs. It’s baffling that these basic fiction foibles weren’t edited and corrected, because they are confusing and quite clearly a TV-writing holdover (especially from Jones’ ensemble-cast writing) that she needed to be rid of. Never Greener’ is Jones’s fiction debut, the first of two novels sold off in a 10-way bidding war amongst UK publishers back in 2016.

Nonostante non siano perfetti sono reali e di sicuro non ci si aspetta determinati comportamenti, ci sorprendono.I couldn't and didn't like Kate, even when the author reveals details of her past, I couldn't bring myself to support her. We spend most of our lives wishing we were somewhere else or someone else, or looking forward or harping back.

I do struggle to believe this would have been published (particularly with such publicity) if written by an unknown author. ANYWAY I’ve had enough of mainstream women’s fiction and am off to start a right-on chick lit book right now. After all, Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s brilliant ‘Fleabag’ TV series showed us the bitingly funny and complex humanity behind “toxic” people and their self-destruction. It’s a tough slog to read this unfolding “romance”, and certainly not a story about the nuance of affection and affairs (Ruth Jones is no Liane Moriarty, or Mhairi McFarlane – for instance – both of whom regularly unearth the murkiness of lust and love). Their affair takes place in the mid 80s and when it implodes Kate leaves the area and becomes a succesful actress.Il finale l'ho trovato un po' troppo facile per la complessità della storia, ma devo ammettere che dopo l'altalena di emozioni che si vive durante la lettura forse l'autrice ha voluto semplicemente farci rilassare. Jones wrote the award-winning television series ‘Gavin and Stacey’, in which she played the incorrigible Nessa, and ‘Stella’, in which she played the titular role.
