Riassunto

The Perfect Present is glamorous and festive read from Karen Swan, author of Christmas at Tiffany's. Haunted by a past she can't escape, Laura Cunningham desires nothing more than to keep her world small and precise - her quiet relationship and growing jewellery business are all she needs to get by. Until the day when Rob Blake walks into her studio and commissions a necklace that will tell his enigmatic wife Cat's life in charms. As Laura interviews Cat's family, friends and former lovers, she steps out of her world and into theirs - a charmed world where weekends are spent in Verbier and the air is lavender-scented, where friends are wild, extravagant and jealous, and a big love has to compete with grand passions. Hearts are opened, secrets revealed and as the necklace begins to fill up with trinkets, Cat's intoxicating life envelops Laura's own. By the time she has to identify the final charm, Laura's metamorphosis is almost complete. But the last story left to tell has the power to change all of their lives forever, and Laura is forced to choose between who she really is and who it is she wants to be.

Recensione:

"charming, well-crafted tale of love, loss and reinvention" --Marie Claire

"A fab bit of escapism" --Woman Magazine

"Perfect stocking fillers...When creating her setting, writer Swan has paid exquisite attention to detail - you can almost smell the surf and feel the salty breeze. Similarly, her characters have been tenderly crafted, with very real mannerisms and emotions. The plot if intriguing throughout and our tears were welling before we'd even finished the prologue...Hide indoors with a glass of mulled wine and lose yourself in this instead" --Four star review in Heat
