The Secrets of Primrose Square: A warm, feel-good tale of hope from number one bestselling author Claudia Carroll

Product Information

Finding himself alone, he befriends the cantankerous Miss Hardcastle, who hasn't left her home for decades, and Emily Dunne - fresh out of rehab and desperate to make amends. The ground floor offers a wonderful reception room with superb volumes as well as a further elegant oak panelled room which is currently used as a study. The story follows these main characters as their relationships develop and as each confronts and comes to terms with the challenges and changes they are facing. At its heart it is a story about the power of female friendships, how people deal with personal crises and change, the need for honesty in relationships and the need for people to take risks if they are to move forward. I thought that the author manged to create reasonably credible characters to carry her explorations of family relationships, loss, grief and the mourning process. This was helped by the fact that the story was told from multiple perspectives, a literary device which enabled past events to be revealed in a gradual and, occasionally, surprising way. Although there were moments when I started to feel that the characters were in danger of becoming stereotypical, on balance I think that the author just managed to avoid this pitfall! There were some enjoyable moments of humour, especially when Jayne had conversations with Tom, her late husband whose ashes were in an urn on a shelf above the television! However, although the cover of the book might suggest this is just a feel-good, light-hearted read, it is in fact a surprisingly thought-provoking and insightful story which explores some dark themes.

Primrose square, is a quiet little get away in the mist of a bustling city. Each home is place of warmth and love and a little bit of that Irish welcome. Filled with non-stop joy of reading through, this novel is going to make you want to laugh and cry along with each of the characters we come to know. Alternatively, if you'd rather go with the more traditional style, Kookaburra offers a breathable range available in standard and premium. These two styles both make use of a knitting process which leaves tiny holes in the fabric of the sail shade. Neither style is waterproof but both allow heat to escape from beneath the sail keeping your shaded area cool at all times.And then there's Jayne, the loving older lady who lives next door to Melissa and her family in number 19, a widow after her husbands death a few years before, we get a glimpse in to her life and through her, we met her son and his wife and twin daughters. But most of all, we see how she is like a member of the family to Melissa when she needs someone the most, the loving next door neighbor who is only too happy to help look after the young girl and who we follow on her own little adventure of finding love. However, there’s a fourth woman, Grace, who is Frank’s wife. And while she may not be on the cover, she’s worth a mention because his story can’t be told without her. Each co-producer has equally valued input into the decision-making process, the course content and the production of the final session plan.

As she transitions, Francesca struggles to come to terms with her true self, and her relationship with her family is thrown into turmoil. At a loss of where to turn, she moves in with her cantankerous neighbour Miss Hardcastle, who hasn't left her home for decades. There she befriends fellow lodger Emily Dunne - fresh out of rehab, finally off the drink and desperate to make amends. La prima cosa che mi ha colpito di questo libro è stato il titolo, a seguire la trama e poi sicuramente la copertina. In genere mi piace pensare che sono i libri che scelgono me, ed in genere lo fanno attraverso la copertina. Sail shades have long been popular in the southern hemisphere for their sun protection benefits. However, most sails are typically made with a loose weave fabric which allows heat to escape from under the garden sail and maintains a cool temperature when sat in the shade.
