|
| Evie Hamilton is an attractive, charming forty-year old woman at times prone to mischief and jealousy but always trying to see the best in people. Not at all academic or fixated with having a high-flying career, she marvels at the success of her Oxford don husband, Ant, who is also a best-selling biographer, and admires her highly accomplished and remarkably well-adjusted teenage daughter Anna. Her blissfully charmed and happy life is suddenly perturbed one sunny Oxford morning when she and her husband receive a letter informing them that Ant has another teenage daughter, a product of a youthful fling, and that the girl’s beautiful and intellectual mother is now asking Ant to be involved in their lives. Meanwhile, Evie’s brother and his long-suffering wife struggle to preserve the family farm in the face of mounting financial pressure, and Evie finds out that her stepmother has purloined the money from her late father’s estate. The predicaments facing Evie do not stop there and she has to face a few more calamities before the plot unravels to the inevitable happy ending. The Secret Life of Evie Hamilton avoids the pitfalls of improbable glitz and glamour, and its endearing and very realistic characters make the book a highly entertaining mélange of romance, tenderness, humour and sarcasm, chick-lit at its best. |
