Promise Me: The most heart-warming novel of 2023

Product Information

Dit boek heeft me laten zien dat het erg jammer is om om die reden een heel genre af te serveren, want er zijn nog zoveel andere thema's (zoals het vormen van een zelfgekozen familie in dit boek voor mij de hoofdlijn vormt). Simply an endearing and light read that makes you want to move to the countryside when all else fails, much like, Lou, our heroine did. Jill Mansell started writing fiction while working in the NHS, after she read a magazine article that inspired her to join a local creative writing class. I was championing the outcome of this book and I was so pleased that the author chose to end the book the way she did, I do love a dose of Karma! Jill weet als geen ander personages met elkaar te verbinden middels verschillende verhaallijnen en dat vind ik persoonlijk echt een grote kracht in haar verhalen.

We are taken on a wonderfully heart-warming journey of love and friendships with the main character Lou. Lou is hesitant to take him up on his offer due to his grumpiness but he is persistent and makes her an offer she just can't turn down. Jill Mansell has done it again, "Promise Me" was another brilliant and heart - warming story with so many curveballs in the second half that I couldn't stop reading, and well, I didn't stop until I've finished it, deep into the night. De schrijfstijl van Mansell is prettig en toegankelijk, waardoor het een erg gemakkelijk te lezen boek is. My favourite had to be our four-legged friend, Captain Oates and I thought the relationship between him and Edgar was just absolutely delightful!It was the special relationship that develops between Edgar and Lou that made this book such an enjoyable read.

As she says, she likes her books to be established and grounded on reality s much they are feel-good fiction works. In the year 2009, she unsurprisingly achieved two milestones, The Telegraph listed her as one of the bestselling authors of the decade and in the same year Jill Mansell’s novel ‘Rumour has it’ spent a total of two months in The Sunday Times hardback bestseller list and the paperback was ranked third in the bestselling list. De hoofdstukken starten namelijk direct waar het vorige hoofdstuk eindigt: niet mijn favoriete vormgeving. En hoewel je de grote lijnen van dit boek wel redelijk kunt raden, zijn er genoeg grappige details of onverwachte momenten om je het hele boek geboeid te houden en de personages in je hart te sluiten. And with that, she discovers so much more about herself, helps the people around her, genuinely just cares to do what's right.com have been hard at work compiling and sorting the official list of Jill Mansell newest books 2022, Jill Mansell new releases 2022/2023 and beyond.
