Margo’s affair with Richard, the love of her life, started when she was sixteen and broke her completely when it ended seventeen years later, bringing her into a close unit with her girls, so close there were no secrets. Except, of course, Margo did have secrets, and always flatly refused to talk about Richard. But now, it seems like she’ll have no choice.

Ariana Grande and Elizabeth Gillies dress as Nomi Malone and Cristal Conners from Showgirls... 10 years after starring on Victorious Those estrangements cannot be helped. But some of the literary characters who are judged most morally wanton — and wanting —are neglectful parents. From heartthrob to hair flop!

It’s a writer’s life for me! By Judi Moore, winner of the WforW’s Georgina Hawtrey-Woore Fiction Award with Little MouseWith no events to arrange or attend, she found her evenings and early mornings were free to write and soon discovered that her novel became the escape she needed to get through “everything else”—the pandemic, home-schooling and life turning on its head. “I’ve given a lot of my energy and real, proper love to the authors I’ve worked with… so it felt quite nice to be doing something just for me.” Somebody told me that The Garnett Girls was ‘escapist but not sentimental’ Matthew Perry's ex Molly Hurwitz 'wishes' Friends star had not 'thrown away' their relationship by messaging a 19-YEAR-OLD girl on Raya Strictly's Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell still appear in top spirits as they arrive for another exhausting nine-hour rehearsal ahead of week six
A whole host of female characters, each one of them memorable from the start (this rarely happens with me) and something to like in all of them. The characters were not equally fleshed out in my opinion as Sasha at times seemed like an afterthought. I did like Rachel's storyline arc as it's a good example of how leaving the interpretation up to the reader can sometimes work well. Moore finds wry humour in her protagonists’ dilemmas, conjures a beguiling sense of place, and wrings emotional depth out of the women’s fractious relationships with each other’ The Times Having finally put the past behind her, the charismatic Margo holds court in her cottage on the Isle of Wight, refusing to ever speak of Richard. But her silence is keeping each of the Garnett girls from finding true happiness. The eldest, Rachel, is desperate to return to London, but is held hostage by responsibility for Sandcove, their beloved but crumbling family home. Imogen, the dreamy middle child, feels the pressure to marry her kind, considerate fiance, even when her life is taking an unexpected turn. And wild, passionate Sasha, the baby, trapped between her increasingly alienated family and her controlling husband, has unearthed the secret behind Richard’s departure… and when she reveals it, the effects are devastating. The narcissist behaviours and the observations made by the rest of family made for a compelling read.
Will the revelations each of them makes break the family apart, or mend the rifts that have formed and bring them closer? Kim Kardashian's daughter North West gets her own magazine cover!

Each had their own relationship with her, and each had their own opinions on the stain their childhood had left upon them. None of them had a relationship with their father, and in fact, Margo insisted that he be wiped out of their lives, never to even be spoken of again. It was hard to not dislike Margo. After being left by her alcoholic husband, she fell into a deeply depressed state and became an alcoholic herself, self-medicating and neglecting her three daughters, the eldest eleven and the youngest four, for the months on end. The girls relied on their aunt, the goodwill of neighbours, and their own devices to get through. The impact this neglectful period had on them was profound and followed them into adulthood. Even taking Margo’s mental health into account, I still found her a hard character to feel any empathy for. In the present day, she was an overbearing, overly critical, and generally dishonest mother. It’s like I could understand her, but not like her, not fully accept her behaviour. There was a streak of selfishness that ran through her, I even saw it in her relationship with her own sister – who, incidentally, was a splendid character!
Meanwhile, Rachel, lawyer, wife of the wonderful Gabe and mother to Hannah and Lizzie, isn’t thrilled to have inherited the care of the rundown Isle of Wight family pile, Sandcove, admittedly a great place to raise children but in desperate need of repair and the default venue for the parties Margo loves to throw. Rachel misses living in London and the high-profile legal career she had to give up to have children. But telling that to Gabe, who’s been a little distant lately (he’s surely not straying?!) on top of what she already has to say won’t go down well. A book about family and its ups and downs. Margo is the dysfunctional mother and her three grown up girls are Rachel, Imogen and Sasha. At the centre of the story is Sandcove, the family home which Margo has since given to Rachel and her family. Not that it stops Margo from still treating the house like her own and holding court with a seemingly hedonistic lifestyle, despite having her own cottage ‘The Other Place’ nearby. Sandcove is almost a character in itself, a big rambling house, now needing repair, but it has always been home and its where Margo and the love of her life, Richard, began their family.Denise: This book had a fascinating story about family dynamics and secrets. Margo's three daughters couldn't get on with their lives because of her refusal to tell them why their father had left when they were young. Free-spirited Margo is the mother of three adult daughters - Rachel, Imogen, and Sasha. Previously married to Richard, most about Richard has been ripped from their lives. He is not mentioned or discussed in this household.
