描述
Another warm and witty comedy of manners from the bestselling author of “The Matriach” and “Ten Days of Christmas”. When Lucy Marriott is interviewed on the street corner for an evening news programme, she doesn't realise how it will change her life. Suddenly, she is an overnight sensation in the small village of Brambleford, and everyone wants to know her. But not every villager has good intentions towards the newest local celebrity. Frustrated actress Nona Dysart is envious of Lucy's popularity, and sets in motion a cruel plan to punish Lucy for her success, using her unsuspecting daughter, Filly. Dolphin Cottage has all the hallmarks of a GB Stern novel, as she shows us how the little, seemingly inconsequential events in life can have serious consequences. This is a darkly humorous portrait of the hidden desires and motives of families, friends and neighbours. Praise for GB ‘Superbly, heartbreakingly skilful … I was fascinated to the last word.’ Kirkus Reviews (For Ten Days of Christmas)
