Obtain Stargazy Pie Created By Laura Lockington Viewable As Edition
romp! Brilliant, funny and easy to read, an absolute pleasurable, feelgood book,
It was set in Cornwall, which is always a point in favour for me, but the descriptions of the lovably eccentric Stanton's, their gracefully falling down house and their riotous Christmas were fantastic and made me want to be part of it.
It is predictable but so what, it's such a rompalong book that you are right behind the whole cast of adorable characters, . . all except the predictable baddie very apt for a Christmas setting! This would have a lovely read had the author not been a terrible writer.
Constantly having the parents referred to by their Christian names by the children with explanation abd then occasional switch back to ma pa father mother us annoying to say the least.
At one point Alex gets in car and leaves only to have him speak and then he returns it really appears to have been proof read by a child and the publishers should gave spotted so many if these mistakes because they spoil what would have been a good light hearted read.
British chick lit but not the strongest offering Nice and pleasant read good for Christmas mood, I loved Lockington's personal memoir Cupboard Love, so I really wanted to like her fiction, But all I could think the overlyeccentric family was a bit too much, and that house was too chilly for comfort, Absolute cracker of a book, I was up tillam this morning finishing this book I just couldn't put it down, Will be looking up more of her books, I liked this book a lot, If there's an eccentric family involved, I'm hooked, And this family is as eccentric and as batty as they come, And I adore Cornwall so that was a point in its favour as well, Very funny in parts with one very sad scene, This is a great big eccentric hug of a book, especially great for this time of year, I love this book very much!
I read it every year in Christmas time hahaha I read this book in a couple of sittings and was gutted when I finished.
Lots of fun! CAN WE HAVE A BOOK SHIFT I HAVEN'T READ ANYTHING GOOD IN A WHILE, HOW ABOUT YOU, MEMERS ANY BOOKS YOU'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO
I LIKED STARGAZY PIE, Good story, easy reading, would be a good Christmas read, Theres nothing quite as strange as other peoples families,
The invitation to spend Christmas with her boss Davey Stantons family gets Poppy inextricably entangled in the family politics and convoluted machinations of a group of Cornish eccentrics who come complete with their own witch.
And then theres the tempting problem of Daveys gorgeous younger brother, .
