The Butterfly Room

Product Information

This epic saga was beautifully written with enticingly mysterious and cleverly intertwining storylines that were threaded with a few heavy secrets and shattering tragedies that this grievously wily author used to taunt and tease me while brutally dangling them rather barbarously out of my reach. I was invested and immersed in the complexities of the characters’ overlapping and oddly compelling family dynamics after being bewitched and pleasantly enthralled by Posy’s early childhood history and interactions with her beloved fa Grande ritorno di Lucinda Riley in un romanzo autoconclusivo non collegato alla saga de Le Sette Sorelle. Un’opera narrativa in cui ritroviamo le grandi doti umane e artistiche della scrittrice nel raccontare l’animo umano con i suoi pregi e difetti; maestra nel cogliere la poesia del sentimento e dell’amore nella vita dei suoi personaggi. My problem with the book lies within the toxic relationships (wth is Amy doing with Sam??) and the secrets that shouldn't have been secrets that drove me mad!!! And then solving problems with champagne and money...erm...no. The Butterfly Room is a spellbinding, multigenerational story full of heartbreaking secrets, from Lucinda Riley, international bestselling author of the Seven Sisters series. Lucinda Riley is the writer of the wildly popular THE SEVEN SISTERS series, which I have not yet read. In retrospect, I wish I would have started there as my introduction to this author rather than this standalone. THE BUTTERFLY ROOM is a fine (longish???) novel, but I think my problem was with its characters. They did things to each other, and kept things from each other, that felt false and unrelatable.

Partea cea mai puțin interesantă pentru mine a fost copilăria lui Posy în Admiral House și leitmotivul care dă titlul romanului, camera cu fluturi. Posy are o relație minunată cu tatăl său, pilot în război, iar pierderea sa îi va marca întreaga existență. Relația cu mama sa devine aproape inexistentă după moartea tatălui său, aceasta rezumandu-se la câteva scrisori în decursul a mulți ani. Însă prezentul lui Posy este cât se poate de interesant. Aceasta are 70 de ani, este stăpâna casei Amiral, are doi fii diferiți precum apa și uleiul, ambii cu situații complicate. Her sons are at odds about their mother selling their childhood home and Posey is again in the middle. ​​ Maman was smoking now too, and I sometimes worried that she would set her letters on fire because she held them so close to her face when she was reading. As you know, men generally tend to be much more basic than women; for the most part, less emotionally complex. They call a spade a spade, whereas women are more likely to say it’s a metal digging implement used in the garden.

I stayed in the woods a very long time, until I heard Daisy calling for me. I only wished I could ask Daddy why he'd killed them when they were so beautiful, and then hung them up like trophies so he could look up and see their deadness on the walls.
