About this deal

Diesem Buch merkt man an, dass es 2008, also früher als die letzten Bücher von Jojo Moyes, geschrieben wurde. This might have been enjoyable if the main characters hadn't been so thoroughly unlikeable, they were either thick-self-pitying-doormats or weird entitled maniacs. Out of the blue, she inherits a rundown property in the countryside, the Spanish House, from a distant relative and uproots her family to live there.

Summary: Believable characters in a moving family drama of bereavement, deception, and obsessions with an old house.Jojo has won the Romantic Novelist’s Award twice, and Me Before You has been nominated for Book of the Year at the UK Galaxy Book Awards.

Pierderea soțului ei și faptul că înainte de accident nu avea nicio responsabilitate față de familie o face neputincioasă, până la neglijența severă a copiilor. I have often found books with a lot of hype surrounding them to be a bit disappointing when I get around to reading them, as was also the case with THE HUSBAND'S SECRET by Liane Moriarty. She finally makes her mother pull her head from the sand and face facts in that they cannot afford the lifestyle that Isabel has become accustomed to. She had zero common sense, it was remarkable how a woman of her age with two kids could willingly know so little about finances and parenting and the world in general.

For a woman who has lived a sheltered life as a classic violinist while her husband took care of the things in their everyday life, Isabel is thrown for a loop and for a while, is barely able to cope. This is an early JoJo Moyes novel that features the Delancy family living in London, but the accidental death of Isabel's husband leaves her devastated, grieving and in dire financial straits. Her novels have been translated into forty-four languages, have hit the number one spot in twelve countries and have sold over thirty-eight million copies worldwide.

Most of the story takes place when Isabel and the children sell their London home and move to the old and decrepit Spanish House. All the drama came busting out and all of a sudden you have all the people cheating each other and fighting over a house. Still wrapped up in the grief of losing her husband, her children have clearly suffered, she makes poor choices that impacts them and seems to take an age to come together. I didn't have any idea what the ending would be and was racing along to finish it so I could actually sleep tonight (being up until the wee small hours this morning and only putting my kindle down when I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer). The family have to get to grips with country living, with having no money, no water, no bathroom and no fridge.Special thanks to NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP/ Penguin Books for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts. A story about a woman who loses not only her husband but her sense of security when she finds out she’s broke, NIGHT MUSIC was beautifully written and completely captured me. The story has some ups and downs, personal growth, a little bit of sex, manipulation, lies, family secrets and problems just to name a few of the themes within the book.
