Résumé
A devastating secret threatens the future happiness of Doreen's family forever... Sunset View is an utterly compelling saga from Margaret Thornton that explores the lives of a Blackpool family in the swinging sixties... and the discovery of a secret that changes everything. Perfect for fans of Katie Flynn and Sheila Newberry.'[A] compulsive page turner' - Coventry Evening TelegraphIt's 1965 and Doreen Jarvis and her family have moved from their old boarding house to a more up-market Blackpool hotel.
As well as trying to make a success of the new business, Doreen has to deal with the problems faced by her five children, who are all growing up and looking for a life of their own. The eldest, Veronica, is desperately searching for her Mr Right, but is she looking too hard? After a series of disappointments, happiness seems set to elude her. Meanwhile her rebellious sister, Teresa, is determined to make the most of the liberal 'swinging sixties' scene, but she finds herself out of her depth when her headstrong behaviour lands her in trouble.
Then Doreen's eldest son, Paul, reveals a secret that challenges all their values and threatens to tear the family apart. What readers are saying about Margaret Thornton: '[Margaret Thornton is] one of those writers with a sure skill in creating characters who become real to the reader. Indeed, so much so that they seem to leap out of the pages and make the story of which they're a part even more compelling''Margaret Thornton is a brilliant storyteller.
Her books draw you in, so you feel you know the characters. Hard to put down' 'Five stars'
