Customer Reviews

Penny is so fun to Read!!!

Oh Penny how said I am that you are no longer with us and you will never write another book. If you want a juicy novel that will keep you reading grab a Penny Vincenzi book and have fun. Keep the handy list of characters in the front of each book at the ready so you can reference who is who. Always full of drama, tears, champagne and laughter...Penny is my go to for elevated fluff.

ANOTHER WINNER!!!!! A PAGE TURNER

Ms Vincenzi's books are wonderful This is the third I have read in three months and each one is unique with interseting characters and storylines. Thank you very much

It was interesting reading the contrast of two countries.

Like all of Penny Vincenzi's books this was another page turner and I love all the twists and turns she injects into her stories. I found this one was one of her best because of the changing storyline that had us following the American Side of the family in One Chapter and then over to the completly different way of life of the English wealthy family. I love the fact she writes nice long novels and this one didn't dissappoint and it was interesting to read about the English side of banking and then compare the American way. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes family sagas and a book with lots of twists and turns. I am looking forward to reading more of Penny!

A real page turner - could not put it down!

I found this book in a used book store and I could not put it down once I started it. I cannot find any of here books in the city I live in now. Is she still writing?

Excellent

This book combines "edge-of-the-seat" thrilling plotlines (to keep you turning the pages) with brilliant observations on human nature and the worlds of american banking and english aristocratic society. However, it is the superbly shocking revellations suddenly materialising on the pages when you least expect them which prove Penny Vincenzi to be a powerful force in modern literature. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Fantastic and intriguing

This book follows one family and their unique twists of fate. A woman who has three children by different man, but in love with her husband, a man so obsessed with his title and home, that he will do anything to protect it..... Rich and privileged, but all haunted by some unhappiness. A really good, if not long, book. I really enjoyed "Wicked Pleasures" and I'll be back for more Penny Vincenzi books.
