Reviews for Another Heartbeat in the House |
||||
|
Everything is alive in Kate Beaufoy's new novel: the slang
of a former era rings authentically, a house has a personality,
a dog has a voice. If you're looking for an absorbing, delicious
well-told tale in which to lose yourself, this is it. - Evening Herald |

Beaufoy convincingly channels voices from the 1930s and 1840s to create a hugely enjoyable book, perfect for a lazy summer afternoon. - Irish Times |
|
|
[Beaufoy's] keen ear for dialogue
echoes with the wit of Austen. - Irish Independent |
Sweeps you away to an Ireland of
the past and keeps you utterly enthralled.
- Marian Keyes |
|
A
compelling atmosperic story brimming with period detail about
two feisty, independent heroines who will steal your heart. - Cathy Kelly |
|
|
With a marvellously evocative setting, strong and believable
lead characters and a pacey plot, Another Heartbeat in the
House is a great read - Liz Trenow |
A delightful story, rich, engrossing
and vividly told.
- Rachel Hore |
|
A
historical novel about a proto-feminist who might have been the
inspiration for Thackeray's Becky Sharp. It's funny, intelligent and intriguing. - Best Books of Summer, Woman & Home |
|
|
Lightness of touch with wonderful scene-setting, a brace of brave and independent female characters who nest in your imagination and refuse be evicted - and William Thackeray to boot... Settle in and enjoy. - Deirdre Purcell |
