There is also an interesting discussion between the two at the end of the audiobook where they discuss Lucinda's writing. Both Helena and Alex know that life will never be the same, once Pandora's secrets have been revealed . It has been twenty-four years since a young Helena spent a magical holiday in Cyprus, where she fell in love for the first time. Her books have been nominated for numerous awards, including the Italian Bancarella Prize, the Lovely Books Award in Germany, and the Romantic Novel of the Year Award.

It all started in Cyprus for Helena, as a teenager she fell in love for the first time and Helena used to have holidays there then it all stopped until her Godfather passes and leaves her his house affectionately named “Pandora” in his will. I've read about genes skipping generations and knowing my luck, I shall be the first fat dwarf in hundreds of years of Beaumont males.Her books have been translated into over thirty languages and sold over ten million copies worldwide. Al igual que ella, está bien que Alex pase por lo mismo, que entienda que en ocasiones decir la verdad no es nada fácil y sus consecuencias. Titlul m-a dus cu gandul la ceva mult mai misterios si asta a fost motivul pentru care i-am dat patru stelute.

I also didn’t need female characters like Jules blaming themselves for not having been good enough wives after episodes of insanely immature and irresponsible behavior on behalf of their husbands. In 2020 she received the Dutch Platinum award for sales over 300,000 copies for a single novel in one year – an award last won by J K Rowling for Harry Potter. Of course Helena is beautiful and amazing in each and every way, but of course, she gets condemned by everyone for keeping a secret that bears no relevance to her family.I get her motivations and her truckload of anxiety, and I certainly get her desperate need to protect all those that she loves. Es cierto que sus motivos están más que justificados según como se miren, por lo mismo, no la considero un personaje del todo detestable (ya que en muchas partes su cariño y afecto son sinceros), sino una mujer que, al igual que su contraparte mitológica, su belleza y encanto es más una maldición que bendición. También esta narrado desde el Pov de ella pero en tercera persona e incluso algunos pocos capítulos de William su marido. This book is written from a dual perspective, first of all by Helena and secondly from the perspective of her son Alex. This book proved to be a real treasure and I took so much from it and I am glad that I did as I would have been bitterly disappointed if this didn't live up to the remarkable back catalogue of books that I have always loved and which made Lucinda a favourite author of mine.
