Summer On The River

Product Information

Evie has married into a very well-to-do family, who own a beautiful old house by the river. When her husband Tommy died, he left the house to Evie instead of to his eldest son, Charlie. Charlie’s wife is horrified by this break with family tradition, but Evie knows that there is a secret reason for her late husband’s decision. Meanwhile, Charlie meets a woman by chance at the annual summer regatta and they immediately fall in love. Each wrestles with their conscience, and there is a serious risk that Evie’s family will fall apart. The Summer by the River schedule also includes Massaoke, Musical Bingo and Barrioke, a special karaoke show with Barry Evans from Eastenders, and open-air fitness classes. With live music from up-and-coming London acts in collaboration with BBC Introducing in London, salsa and swing social dances with Havana Londres and Swing Patrol, and family-friendly events and entertainment across the weekend, there is something for everybody looking to celebrate the summer in the city.

Overall I was disappointed by this book. I don't actually recall if I've read this author before, but I certainly won't be looking for any of her other books.

As Evie and Charlie struggle to keep their secrets safe, they long for the summer to never end.... Can the happiness of one summer last for ever?

Heading into July, the festival will embrace another British institution – Wimbledon – with the screen in The Scoop showing all of the key matches.

Evie has been left a house, known as the Merchant’s House, in Dartmouth. She has inherited it from her former lover, later to be husband Tommy. Ange, who is married to Tommy’s son Charlie, is aghast that the house has been left to Evie instead of Charlie. But Tommy has his reasons as both Evie and the reader discover as the story progresses. Charlie loves to visit the old house where his friend Ben, is now living after he split up from his wife. Evie, meanwhile is still living in the Boathouse nearby and happy for Ben to live in the Merchant’s House. Things are always uncomfortable when Ange and Charlie visit together. Ange prefers London. That doesn’t stop her feeling resentful that Evie owns the house she believes should be Charlie’s and worse, that Ben is living in it. One time when Charlie comes down on his own he meets Jemima and and instant love or attraction whatever you want to call it flares up. But there is Ange. What are Jemima and Charlie to do? And when the secret Tommy left behind is uncovered what difference will that make to the people who love this place and the house? There is also a person bent on revenge for the past. Although a newcomer to the industry, Yaz León has proven to be a rising talent already having gained support from Wonderland, Notion, Wordplay, and other prominent magazines. In 2020León was selected by Selector Radio for the British Council to showcase the UK new music scene internationally, signaling an international career is just around the corner for this new talent. As a Spanish/Iraqi born and raised in West London, her music is inspired by her heritage community, and pride mixed in with detailed storytelling. I didn't care for most of the characters except Ben, the cousin who lived in the Merchant's House. There were at least ten characters in the story that were given their own third person voice. I think at least two of them (the little girl Maisie and her mum) were unnecessary. Several relationships were awkwardly contrived. Evie, a former college English professor and successful author of English civil war period novels, lives in a boathouse on the river in Dartmouth. Her husband Tommy has died and left her the Merchant's House across the road where several family members and an old friend congregate each summer for Regatta. A local lady, Jemima enters into their lives and makes quite a big impact on them all, especially Ben and Charlie.This is a book about friendship, expectations, loss and love. I struggled with this book for several reasons. One was the main character Evie, and her casual attitude towards affairs. She has over the years had affairs with two already married men, Russell and later, Tommy. Tommy is affectionately known as TDF, which is cringe worthy when the reader learns what the letters stand for. The setting of this book is beautiful but I found the characters shallow and some of them added nothing to the story. I could not relate to any of them.
