About this deal

Hoe voorspelbaar ze ook zijn, het is steeds weer een feestje om haar boeken te lezen en zo dus ook ‘Het zonnetje in huis’. I love a story which features a cantankerous character and eighty-year-old Edgar was the perfect complement to Lou’s sweet demeanour. So when cantankerous 80 year old Edgar offers to provide a place for her to live while she cares for him, as well as promising to leave her a substantial inheritance, she feels guilty despite his lack of family and friends, but can't really refuse.

Naast deze hoofdpersonages volg je ook Lou’s jeugdvriend Sammy, die graag een beroemde zanger wil worden, zijn aantrekkelijke broer Remy en een oude bekende van Edgar, een bont en boeiend gezelschap, de één sympathieker dan de ander. The romance is plentiful and a rollercoaster of emotions for many added to that we have strong friendships too. Darcy), kieskeurige chihuahua Captain Oates, de knappe Remy naar de gladjakker Tom, zijn flapuit zus Fia en vergankelijke terugkijkend op vervlogen tijden ex-beroemdheid Della.And along the way, you re-discover the meaning of friendship, re-kindle first crushes, and genuinely learn that despite the first impressions someone makes on you, everyone is capable of change and no matter how unsavory their behavior may be, deserves a little bit of kindness and happiness. After a short stay in the Cotswolds Lou received a job offer from Edgar ( a grumpy eighty year old man ). Deze excentrieke tachtiger woont helemaal alleen in een groot landhuis en heeft een inwonende hulp nodig, en Lou lijkt hem de perfecte kandidaat voor die baan – of de enige, omdat hij al veel werknemers heeft verjaagd. Hierdoor blijft het verhaal afwisselend, wordt het geen moment saai en worden de verschillende perspectieven mooi met elkaar verbonden, al had ik over enkele elementen en achtergronden graag nog uitgebreider willen lezen. When he offers Lou the job she explains that she already is caring for a woman in the town she lives in.

We have the warmth and depth of emotion that we are accustomed to in Jill’s novels but there is also a modern spark to this storyline too. We lezen het verhaal vooral vanuit Lou, maar we krijgen ook de hersenspinsels van andere personages mee. It did have me in tears at certain parts of the book, but there was still plenty of fun, love and laughter throughout.Jill Mansell is a incredibly talented author who has delivered flawless books over and over again and her latest novel Promise Me is no exception. Edgar gets in touch with a lost love and hopes for happy endings all round seem on the horizon and Lou’s own romantic life may also be set to change or will history repeat itself…? However, needs must and when he makes an offer that she can’t refuse, she decides to give it a go and becomes Edgar’s live-in carer. My review is based on my experience of the book and any thoughts expressed here are solely mine alone.
