lianareadsblog 's review for:
The Peacock Room at Sammezzano Castle
by Merryn Corcoran
3.5 stars
The book was a quick and delightful read about a woman who's struggling to get over her husband infidelity and divorce, trying to find out the truth about her grand grandfather and his past in a very beautiful castle in Italy, where she also falls in love with an Italian policeman.
A fast-paced story, with a very reliable female character that takes some bad decisions at times but also is trying to keep her children safe from all the drama that appears in her life at the time.
A very well written description of the settings which made me think and feel like I was really there in the castle and surrounded by luxurious colors. Maybe one day I'll get the chance to visit the castle as now it's on my To visit list.
I didn't like the dialogue or better said the words said at times by the kids but at the end it's understandable because of the society we live in nothing is perfect and maybe, even if I cheered Allegra for getting her life back and moving forward to find a partner in her life in the Italian cop, I felt that she falls a bit too quick and too soon after being married for 20 years.
