She's also obsessed with the memory of her recently deceased husband Laurent, whom she loved with an abiding passion. Matt is an awful character and has cheated on his wife multiple times yet she continues to stay with him. Premise: When Isabel Delancey’s husband dies suddenly, she is forced to take her two children and move to a crumbling home in the country.

The book follows the families as they struggle with their ideas of love and marriage, revenge, family life, and what it takes to make a house a home.NIGHT MUSIC was a book that really delved into the harshness of life, and I couldn’t get enough of it. If you like this book, you might also enjoy Blue Slipper Bay by Wendy K Harris, or Uphill All the Way by Sue Moorcroft. I have often found books with a lot of hype surrounding them to be a bit disappointing when I get around to reading them, as was also the case with THE HUSBAND'S SECRET by Liane Moriarty. Way over the top, with the side-plot tied up so dumb, I get cramps thinking it was conjured in a female head.

She was too in love with her violin and music to love anyone else, she knew that yet still decided to go ahead and be a wife and mother, it made her thoroughly unlikeable and selfish.

This might have been enjoyable if the main characters hadn't been so thoroughly unlikeable, they were either thick-self-pitying-doormats or weird entitled maniacs.

If you enjoy books about the messiness of life with a light at the end of the tunnel, this one's for you.Kitty makes friends in the village and becomes a more normal teenager, and Thierry is befriended by the mysterious Byron, who has a dark secret that only Matt seems to know about. And of course Isabel is so incredibly gullible and naive with things like this so she doesn’t see what’s happening right under her nose. Moyes even creates a scene where our boy Firth emerges from swimming in a lake with his muscular torso gleaming and his hair slicked back - sending our widow's heart racing! Fiica ei Kitty are 15 ani și se simte datoare să țină familia în picioare, să o înlocuiască pe mama ei, atunci când aceasta se retrage în lumea ei. Isabel didn’t really know how to do much of anything other than take care of her own self, so she was a bit dysfunctional when left to her own devices, or being available for her teenage children.
