The Postcard

Product Information

The author gives us plenty of insight into their childhood via flashbacks, Penny adored her father but something major causes a rift between her, Suzie and mother.

However, the setting of 'The Postcard' didn't bother me this time as it wasn't the main focus of the storyline. An earthquake that swallowed up every one of the very tiresome people in this book is the only thing that could have rendered it tolerable to read. Between the two ladies, Penny and Ella, I found myself more engrossed in Penny's as it seemed that the storyline was more focused on her life, as well as her past. She was educated at Dr Challoner's High School in Little Chalfont and underwent training in stage management at the Central School of Speech and Drama. and I was wondering how the story could possibly be resolved in the few pages I could see I had left.I really disliked Suzie from the onset, she is such a manipulative cow, predictable in places but still addictive to read about. It was also a relatively quick read for me as I read the whole of it on a plane journey home from the Canary Islands, and it kept me awake, and entertained for the duration of the flight. i must fight the impulse that leads me to think that i will enjoy a book because it is set in Cornwall.

I’ve read others by this author in the past and thoroughly enjoyed them so it won’t put me off reading more from her in future.

In equal measure I also wanted to step inside and have it out with Penny's sister about her behaviour. It seems a little mis-matched having a high-flying career woman like Penny married to Simon who in all honesty is a bit of a weed! On top of this she receives some startling news about her estranged Mother and the potential of an unwanted visit from her estranged sister Suzie.

However it can quite easily be read as a standalone novel and will no doubt tempt you to go back and read more about Pendruggan and its residents! I would most definitely recommend The Postcard to anyone wanting a good, easy to read novel and will certainly be looking out for those follow up novels (please Fern! Adam is the new local GP and he's also setting up a practice in the garden where he offers his patients alternative healing methods. I requested and was given a copy of this book via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion after choosing to read it.Others have said they disliked the main character, Penny, but I felt sorry for her and her background and felt it made her a real 3D character. Taking a look at the listings of these books, I realised they are a series, however, it didn’t seem to matter that I hadn’t read any of the others before-definitely can be read as a standalone too.

Set in the beautiful Cornish village of Pendruggan, this is a story that immediately draws the reader in and makes them feel like a fly on the wall to the goings on of a variety of characters - some more likeable than others! Apart from television presentations, Fern Britton has also featured in advertisements for Ryvita Minis. Since then, Fern Britton has hosted several programmes, which include Carlton Television's After Five, BBC's Breakfast Time, London News Network's London Tonight and BBC 1’s Holiday. I don’t think I would be alone in wanting to know what happens next for new GP Adam and his cousin Kit who live next door to the vicarage, not to mention the clinic receptionist/part time nanny Ella and her brother Henry.

She appeared as a guest presenter for the show, Have I Got News for You on 27 April 2007 and again on 17 October 2008.
