The best yet from Ruth Hogan. An irresistably delicious romp through 1970s holiday camp, you can see the chalets and smell the beer, it's better than black forest gateau and cheese and pineapple hedgehog. A novel of love, hope and family. Loved loved loved it ❤

Todella tylsä ja hitaasti etenevä. Ihme että loppuun sai luettua... Jotain mielenkiintoisia juttuja, mutta kirjoitus tyyli hieman ontuvaa mun makuun.

This was a fun summer read. Madame Burova is retiring from many decades of running her palm and tarot card reading booth on the Brighton boardwalk. Over the years, Madame Burova has been privy to many secrets and confessions. In the 1970s, when she first took over the clairvoyant business from her mother, Madame Burova got to know several of the young entertainers - singers, daredevils, contortionists etc. The novel travels back and forth between that 1970s summer and the present day where some surprising connections are made.
A fun, feel good book. I love a story about families made from friendships rather than blood, and this has a mix of both. There are so many great characters, and it would be tough to choose a favorite. Maybe Shunty-Mae, because she has a great name and is such a curmudgeon.
