Lucinda Riley spins a fantastic tale around the character of Posy. Great read about the generations of a family and the secret that has impacted on Posy. The book spans from Posy's life as child and young adult to when she is a Grandmother herself. Loved the atmosphere created around the house and the family. A wonderful read. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me review this book.

The Butterfly Room was a great read - once I started I had to keep going to find out what would happen in the end. It is a story of family secrets, betrayal, forgiveness and never ending love! I could feel myself there with the different characters experiencing their laughter, pain as well as enduring resolve to battle against the odds stacked against them. I have really enjoyed this book and recommend it wholeheartedly but make sure you have a stack of tissues at the ready!!

Another excellent, readable Lucinda Riley novel, about generations of the same family living in a historic house in Suffolk. One tragic event affects the main protagonist for most of her life, and that is gently and skilfully unfolded through the novel. Other characters, all of whom are realistic, impact on her, the house; and it was a novel that I enjoyed reading; and would recommend to others. Thank you for the opportunity to preview it.

Another brilliant read from Lucinda Riley loved everything about this novel a great storyline which kept you guessing right to the end Posy's life was far from perfect after a family tragedy when she was a young girl she is bought up by her grandmother and the secrets that come out about her family brings a lot of heartache and struggles before she finally finds happiness again a real page turner

I would like to thank Pan Macmillan for the opportunity to read and review an e-ARC of The Butterfly Room. It is the first stand-alone book by Lucinda Riley that I have read and I loved its complex set of characters, the plot full of secrets, and the various issues that the extended family has to cope with. Posy Montague is the king-pin, living in Admiralty House, an old house in which she spent time as a child, and which is crumbling and decaying around her as she approaches her 70th birthday (happily not crumbling and decaying!). The story is told in two alternating parts: Posy as a child and young adult written in the first person, and Posy and her family now, written in the third person. This works really well for this story, the writing is lovely and just flows along. I wish I could have read it in just one or two sittings as it's that sort of book. Recommended to readers who enjoy generational family stories with plenty to interest them along the way.

I would like to start by saying thank you to Pan Macmillan for giving me the opportunity to read this book.
What to say I absolutely adore Lucinda Riley's books and this one did not disappoint I read it in two sittings I could not put it down. It has everything you need for a lovely Sunday read ,love death mystery and that lovely prose that Ms Riley is so good at.
