Con una pluma muy amena y sencilla la autora nos lleva por la vida de la familia de Posy, sus idas y vueltas, ganancias y perdidas, conflictos y amores desde la segunda guerra hasta el 2016, contada como nos tiene acostumbrada Lucinda en dos tiempos, pasado y presente. En el presente Posy se enfrenta a la difícil decisión de si vender la propiedad de su casa familiar “Admiral house” ya que al ser una mansión con un gran terreno requiere mucho mantenimiento y ella no cuenta con el dinero necesario ni con la fortaleza física para acometer las tareas necesarias. Asimismo durante este periodo Posy se reencuentra con un antiguo amor que acabó bruscamente y sin que ella llegara a conocer el motivo. ¿Podrá a sus 70 años volver a sentir las mariposas en el estómago? ¿Sabrá finalmente por qué se quebró su historia de amor?.

Freddie and Posy’s love spans decades. Do you believe there is such a thing as ‘the One’ for every person? Her sons are at odds about their mother selling their childhood home and Posey is again in the middle. ​​ Esta lectura para mi ha sido el típico caso de: “No eres tú soy yo” y es que el libro está escrito maravillosamente bien, las historias están hiladas y no se queda ningún cabo suelto. Los personajes están bien perfilados, pero… más de 500 páginas son demasiadas para lo que termina contando. It has all the ingredients I expect of a family saga: a big old crumbling family home, mystery, sibling rivalry, romance, secrets, lies . . . But the biggest secret? I never could have guessed what it would be, and it left me stunned. The Butterfly Room’ began its life as a manuscript I wrote almost ten years ago called ‘Red Admiral’.

Be warned - you will need tissues. Close to the end I found myself sobbing violently, not pretty crying with tears rolling silently down my cheeks, but the full on waterworks as I railed against the injustice of fate. But I finished with a sigh of pleasure and a smile of satisfaction.

The Butterfly Room - Kindle edition by Riley, Lucinda

Everyone in this book has secrets. Very minor secrets that get blown way out of proportion to create the drama necessary for the storyline. No one will talk to anyone else to even give them a CHANCE to understand what is going on.

Which is a complete load of crap. The reason they cannot be together simply no longer exists - if indeed it ever did. Despite its lengthy size The Butterfly Room is a totally engrossing and fast read. I was completely enthralled by the Montagues’ lives.

Daily Mail Captivating . . . This multi-generational tale is a poignant yet uplifting novel that strikes just the right balance with its tone and characters.This was my first Lucinda Riley Novel and the description on the blurb appealed to me. A story set the beautiful Suffolk countryside in England, Posy Montague approaching her seventieth birthday and still living in the family home of Admiral House where history and secrets abound. When a face appears from her past, Posy is reluctant to trust again. A story about family and romance set between the years 1940s and 2006. I love multi-generational sagas. They are such a great break from all the thrillers I love reading and this one came at the perfect time. I was able to lose myself in Posy’s world and what a story it was. Starting when she was young and then jumping to when she is almost 70, I immediately found myself engrossed in this story. Posy has not had the most happy of childhoods and even later in life, she has encountered a few obstacles. Now she is nearing the end of her life and trying to decide whether she should scale down. Grande ritorno di Lucinda Riley in un romanzo autoconclusivo non collegato alla saga de Le Sette Sorelle. Un’opera narrativa in cui ritroviamo le grandi doti umane e artistiche della scrittrice nel raccontare l’animo umano con i suoi pregi e difetti; maestra nel cogliere la poesia del sentimento e dell’amore nella vita dei suoi personaggi. My problem with the book lies within the toxic relationships (wth is Amy doing with Sam??) and the secrets that shouldn't have been secrets that drove me mad!!! And then solving problems with champagne and money...erm...no. Lucinda Riley vorbește despre secretele de familie și despre evoluția lor în timp. Acțiunea romanului se desfășoară pe două planuri diferite, despărțite de 66 de ani, acest interval micșorându-se treptat pe măsură ce Posy, eroina principală își povestește viața.
