About this deal

Suzanna is so different from the rest of the Fairley-Hulmes—both emotionally and in terms of her outlook on life.

I mean, good for these super rich-have-it-all gals who turn their back on the fufu and to live a life of grit and substance (how nice of them to have that choice) I'm just over that type of storyline, even if the person stops being an asshole. Everything she did for her husband, her mother in-law, she felt like more of the maid, you could tell she loved her husband more than he loved her and even though Suzanna isn't tecniqully her biological daughter she raised and loved her as her own anyway, I felt Suzanna to be a complete bitch towards her. The provocative opening takes a dark turn when Lily receives a warning about Ryle’s intentions from his sister, who becomes Lily’s employee and close friend.While they fight their mutual attraction, their hope that “maybe someday” they can be together playfully comes out in their music. Although this is Suzanna’s story, frequent point-of-view shifts are distracting and make it more difficult to focus on her journey.

The Peacock Emporium - JoJo Moyes

Suzzana, una chica defectuosa e infeliz, es frecuentada y moldeada por su pasado a pesar de que ella sabe poco sobre ello. Her family (including her husband but not Rosemary) deserve a medal for putting up with her flouncing and tantrums. Moyes excels at creating quirky characters and sweeping stories, but her latest lacks the sense of humor and epic love story that made her hit Me Before You (2012) such a success.Here is a quick description and cover image of book The Peacock Emporium written by Jojo Moyes which was published in 2005-2-28. I also felt sorry for Vivi, with the thankless task she has done in running her household, the reward being that she was taken for granted by everyone. Every interaction she has with her husband I kept thinking 'poor Neil' I felt sorry for him for staying with Suzanna who felt to me was completely dead inside.

Suzanna has been in a lackluster marriage for 10 years, and at the age of 34, finds herself just simply bored with life. Suzanna’s father and stepmother constantly question their relationships with their eccentric daughter; Jessie has a young daughter she adores; several other characters struggle with parenting, too. In this novel, Suzanna must reckon with her mother’s scandalous past and the way in which this history affects her own identity. I achieved a City and Guilds Level 3 in Stitched Textiles during this time and mainly made gifts for friends and family.Otro punto a comentar, y no voy a nombrar a ningún personaje para no hacer spoiler, es que en ningún momento un hijo o hija puede parecerse a un pariente si no lo conoce.

Sometimes, when reading a novel, I try to envision a single word that captures the totality of its fictional world. I picked this up because it’s a Jo Jo Moyes book and when have I ever been disappointed with one of her books?Generally, I can relate to characters who are dissatisfied with their lives (or marriages or whatnot), but I really could not feel much for Suzanna's complaints, nor forgive her for the way she lied to and led on her husband, making a promise about something so vital as children only to then cheat on him and dump him a year later, so that he is still childless and she ends up having a baby with the new guy. I now spend my days stitching whilst listening to the radio, with occasional breaks for tea, biscuits and a play with the cat!
