Her anxieties grow further when she discovers a rare book of fairytales in a safe in her husbands study, a book she has seen him treat in her words ‘like a lover’. After the birth of their son Violet struggles with her anxieties around keeping her baby safe and happy.
She has a baby son, Felix whom she adores and a thoroughly devoted husband, Archie, the proprietor of a secondhand bookshop with a huge interest in rare and expensive books.Īrchie also had a first wife Rose who unfortunately died in childbirth, who Violet takes an interest in. Amy got me spot on!Įdwardian England and Violet seemingly lives a charmed life. My tastes were nailed in this first selection. Gothic historical fiction with a dark dark tone. I waited patiently for it to arrive and when it did, it was packaged beautifully! I knew immediately what book they had in mind and I was thrilled! This book has been on my wish list for a while after hearing Jen Campbell talk about it on booktube. So…….the first teaser email asked if I’d ever read any Alice Thompson.
I opted to have a little teaser email sent to me before the book was posted, which is just the authors name just incase I’ve already read a lot by that author and there’s a chance I’ve already read the selected book. We chatted about my tastes, likes and dislikes etc etc and then Amy went away to have a little think about the kinds of books she could treat me to. Whilst there I met the lovely Amy and signed up to a 6 month paperback subscription. As some of you will no doubt know, I recently took a trip to Bath and more importantly had a little visit to the fantastic Mr B’s Book Emporium, which you can read about here.
