This is Penny Vincenzi's first novel and what a blockbuster it is! I read this when it first came out and I have gone on to read EVERY book that she has written. An excellent holiday read. Near the end I began to get slightly dissappointed because I thought I had sussed out what was going to happen but Penny brilliantly makes the reader think that but then comes up with something that had never entered your head so it does build up to an excellent climax after all.As always, another great novel by Penny. I love her books because they are not only good, but her novel are long. This one took me 2 weeks to read (983 pages) because I read it during my downtime at work.
Many years ago, I worked in a hotel... And many guests (specially foreigners) used to leave behind them the paperbacks they've finished reading... So, the maids were collecting those abandoned books and bringing them to my office... So, I came across this wonderful book and fell in love with the author... When I became editor-in-chief at Laguna I fought hard to make big boss let me publish her... And I gave her wonderful translator... And I was right, many readers in Serbia fell in love with her
Old Sins follows the life of Julian Morel as he and his mother Letitia form what is to become a multimillion dollar cosmetic/pharmaceutical company that spans the globe. Along the way Julian's ambitions and ruthless actions affect the lives of his family and business associates in many ways but has the greatest effect on his only daughter, Rosamund. When Julian dies the reading of his will brings mystery and added friction when he leaves 49% of his company to his daughter, 49% to his wife and 2%
Got to page 148 and can't read anymore. Very hard going and don't look forward to picking it up. Disappointing
Excellent family saga style book. It is almost 1000 pages, but it kept me interested for the full story. Penny Vincenzi always delivers a good story, with great characters.
Enjoyed the twists and turns
