Butterfly Summer

Product Information

This is a really unusual book – haunting and poignant in turn and a real trail to find out the truth of the past. I admit I found the idea intriguing from the beginning – like how one butterfly flapping its wings can change things and how we over the years try to make things right, change the course of events and the things we do to keep family together. Plenty of characters telling different parts of a family history with a little twist as to how the family home was to be passed on. This book is sensational. I'm lost with words! This book teaches us about friendship and rela life situations in that we can refelct upon them. It's a heartbreaking story and urges the reader to carron on reading. Butterfly Summer is truely the best book I have ever read, full of magical characters and places. Nina grew up not knowing much about her father’s side of the family. He died when she was six months old. When things about her family are revealed out of the blue Nina finds herself digging for clues, determined to understand what’s going on. Harriet Evans really “brings you home” with this book. The writing is full of emotions, depth and mystery. I loved how vividly Harriet described all the places, unfortunately I didn’t feel the same with the story. It was quite clear in the end, but the way to get there was complicated and stony. The idea behind it all is fab and I wish I was more gripped, but something was missing for me. I think clearer connections and a flowing storyline would have helped for me. I guess that could be quite different for other readers, but that’s how I felt.

Make a Baby Bumble Bee and then use it to work on motor skills with these fun activities and song from The Inspired Tree House Team This book is the best book I have ever read.

Foodplants They say that if you spot the first Silver-studded Blue of the summer then the person you love the most is on their way to see you. But.....if it lands on your shoulder, then that person has come to say goodbye for ever." Like the sun glinting on a butterfly's wing, there's both light and darkness in Anne-Marie Conway's outstanding novel...[ Butterfly Summer] gets to the heart of childhood dilemmas whilst unravelling mysteries from the past. A terrific read for youngsters aged nine and over' - Lancashire Evening Post With that in mind I still don't really know what to think of this as a whole. It took such a long time to get into, like a painfully long time and I don't know if the pay off was worth it. I did think that the story was quite predictable and I guessed the way that the story was going to go. This book is clearly aimed at younger readers and I think if I had read it when I was younger I would probably have rated it higher.

I'm not really sure what I feel about this book to be honest. It's a saga of a tale which skips through generations of a family, where the females inherit the family home "Keepsake" but I found it quite slow to get going and the first half was actually quite confusing. I started to get lost between all the previous generations that were referred to. The orange and brown wings of the comma are deeply scalloped to give an almost ragged appearance. On the underside of the hindwing, visible if the butterfly has its wings closed, is a small silvery comma-shaped marking. Where to find it This gentle but gripping book is a tale of friendship and the paranormal and is perfect for fans of Cathy Cassidy and Karen McCombie' - Booktrust At university I read Classical Studies, which is a great way of finding out that the world doesn't change much and people make the same mistakes but it's interesting to look at why. I was at Bristol, and i loved the city, making new friends, being a new person. I never tell too much about a book I review but urge you to read this one; its well written, hauntingly sad in places but satisfying in it's conclusion. I did guess the outcome but it does not really become obvious until the last few chapters at least it didn't for me. I enjoyed the journey of these females as they accepted responsibility of their inheritance and the burden that it bought them.

But we should remember that butterfly populations have always fluctuated from year to year, depending largely on the prevailing weather conditions. To assess these figures more carefully, we really need to look at the long-term trends, which are rather less positive. For many of Britain’s favourite summer butterflies, including the once-common and familiar small tortoiseshell, there has been a steady decline over the past 40 years or so. This is due to a combination of factors, of which the most serious are the intensification of farming, combined with a more general fragmentation and loss of habitat. Essentially a story about a dysfunctional family and secrets and obligations that pass from female generation to generation binding them all together for an eternity. It starts at the end really where the present day Nina meets an old woman in the London Library where she has been given life membership by her father before he went away when she was a child and who she never sees again believing him to be dead. This chance meeting (or perhaps it wasn't chance) starts her on a journey of discovery about her life, lineage and inheritance of Keepsake and the butterflies.
