Promise Me: The most heart-warming novel of 2023

Product Information

Apart from her well-received recognition she has won awards to show of her work. In 2011 her novel ‘Take A Chance On Me’ won the Romantic Comedy prize, an award which was issued by the Romantic Novels Association. The book was described as humorous and delightful as it scooped the award. Lou had a good job, and a flat in Birmingham, but every changes overnight and she’s homeless and unemployed. Lou recently stayed with her friend Sammy in the Cotswold village of Foxwell. Whilst there, she was offered a job by eighty-year-old loner Edgar. Edgar is probably the most offensive, grumpy old man ever created and Lou has avoided his numerous calls so far. However, needs must and when he makes an offer that she can’t refuse, she decides to give it a go and becomes Edgar’s live-in carer. De personages waren heerlijk, hadden allen een geheel eigen karakter en de verhaallijnen waren interessant. MY REVIEW: Hurrah! The new year can now officially begin, because we have a brand spanking new read from Jill Mansell to devour.

Ook zorgt ze altijd voor een fijne afronding aan het einde en dat was bij ‘Het zonnetje in huis‘ ook zeker weer het geval.Jill Mansell is one of Britain’s most accomplished authors. She has authored books which have had huge success not just in the United Kingdom but the world over. She has written many books which are of the romantic comedy genre. To prove her success, the writer has had over ten million copies of her books sold worldwide. She was raised in the Cotswolds UK and when she went to school, she attended Sir William Romney’s School in Telbury. Before she opted to be a full time writer in 1992, she worked as a clinical neuropsychologist at Burden Neurological Institute in Bristol. She worked in the medical field for close to 18 years. She is a family lady and lives with her partner and children in Bristol. She began writing when she was a child, she used to write a lot but she never imagined that one day she will be doing it for a living. She is inspired by the love she has for her readers since she cannot imagine failing to publish another book, that is what keeps her grounded. Naast deze hoofdpersonages volg je ook Lou’s jeugdvriend Sammy, die graag een beroemde zanger wil worden, zijn aantrekkelijke broer Remy en een oude bekende van Edgar, een bont en boeiend gezelschap, de één sympathieker dan de ander. De leuk neergezette personages brengen leven in de brouwerij, creëren opschudding en drama maar zijn er ook voor elkaar, ze zorgen voor verrassingen en schuwen grote gebaren niet. Hierdoor blijft het verhaal afwisselend, wordt het geen moment saai en worden de verschillende perspectieven mooi met elkaar verbonden, al had ik over enkele elementen en achtergronden graag nog uitgebreider willen lezen. Ook wil ik nog even complimenten maken voor de paar medische scènes die in dit boek zitten. Deze zijn realistisch en geloofwaardig en als professional in het vakgebied kan ik zeggen dat dat vaak anders is. However the job is tending, looking after and being assistant to grumpy old man Edgar. But there is lots more to Edgar than meets the eye. But as they begin to grow on each other it's not just Edgar who begins to evolve and change but Lou too.

Wie had kunnen denken dat de excentrieke Edgar Allsopp de oplossing zou hebben voor Lou’s problemen? Hij biedt haar een baan en een dak boven haar hoofd in het dorp Foxwell in de Cotswolds. Mansell grew up in the Cotswolds and attended Sir William Romney's School in Tetbury. After working at the Burden Neurological Institute in Bristol for many years, [2] she became a full-time writer in 1992. She lives in Bristol with her partner and children. I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review as part of the book tour hosted by Random Things Tours. Taking the job means she's living close to old school friends, including the gorgeous Remy, in the tiny, picturesque Cotswolds village of Foxwell.Secrets never stay hidden for long in Foxwell, nor are promises always kept. And no one could guess what lies ahead . . . RNA (8 March 2011). "2011 PURE PASSION AWARDS ANNOUNCED". Romantic Novelists' Association . Retrieved 28 May 2014.
