Many thanks for my copy of “The Peacock Summer” by Hannah Richell, which is her 3rd Novel.
The dust jacket is a delight and gave me endless pleasure. Some of the characters are well drawn, though I found the telling of the story slightly luke warm, however, I was surprised by some of the twists in the tail.
Basically, a young woman, Maggie, returns home to nurse her elderly grandmother Lillian, (who lives in a huge but dilapidated country house,) and find a way of returning the house to its former glory, but of course nothing is as it seems.
Told from the perspectives of these two main characters, The Peacock Summer is a nice holiday read, with some good descriptive passages.
