Descriptions du produit

From Amazon.co.uk

The opening line of Rosie Thomas's 15th book, If My Father Loved Me, is an intriguing one: "My father was a perfumer and a con artist". The daughter of this "grand master of deception" is Sadie, a divorced bookbinder, with two children who has carved out a calm life for herself. She loves her job and her friends and her charming daughter Lola is on the way to college. Her son, Jack, is more problematic--he's not a typical drink-and-drugs adolescent, instead he's a loner who likes bird watching and animals, but who doesn't seem overly fond of his mother.

Tricky parental situations are abound in this novel. Firstly there's Sadie's uneasy relationship with her father Ted--when Sadie's mother died "he was left with a beady-eyed and unpliant child" and Sadie was left with a father who was an expert in "bottled dreams", flirting and double-dealing, but not so hot on child care. Elsewhere friends have uneasy truces with their lover's children while divorced couples try to keep their parental roles on course.

Rosie Thomas handles all this domestic drama with compassion and kindness. The characterisation is adept and the emotional dilemmas real and involving. Add in the lovely details abut the creation of scent--descriptions of the fragrance of Jasmine in Grasse, the appeal of Ted's Mayfair shop Scentsation "a faint breath of fresh flowers and warm aromatics which conjured up worlds of glamour and privilege," and you have a perceptive and engaging novel. --Eithne Farry

This review is from: If My Father Loved Me (Paperback)

I was very disappointed with this book. I had to force myself to read it. I kept thinking, surely something is going to happen here, nothing did. The characters, while well written, were very weak in their natures. I thought Jack needed a good swift kick up the you know what to sort him out. This is a story of a woman trying to make amends and find out more about her father after his death. She feels he did not love her and had many hidden secrets. He had a few but they were nothing remarkable. All the other characters were weak, perhaps with the exception of her friend Mel. I found it hard slugging to get through it. Wouldn't recommend it.
