Today I am excited to share with you my review of this brilliant, fun and quirky read from Samantha Henthorn. I would like to thank Anne Cater of Random Things tours for inviting me to join this tour and for my copy of the book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
Book Description
When Genevieve Dubois returned to Curmudgeon Avenue, this opened up the opportunity for Edna to realise her long held dream of escaping to France. But as Edna embraces all things European, Genevieve appears to shy away from her French roots. Meanwhile, we return to Curmudgeon Avenue for the third time, the wind had blown in the truth about the tall, handsome stranger and although Harold and Edith had been relieved to discover that he is neither an elephant detective, nor a fraud investigator, Toonan had been a little disappointed that he was not interested in her either. Matteo Dubois was looking for his mother, Genevieve Dubois, and although he did not find her on Curmudgeon Avenue, you have probably guessed that he is about to cause a disturbance- FINALLY! There is hope that the set of nincompoops that live here currently will move out, and leave me in peace! Edna had already escaped with Genevieve to France, which was a real shame for us because Edna was one of the less annoying ones. This delightful comedy romance is the third book in the Curmudgeon Avenue will make you smile.
My Review
This is the third book in the series and this book returns to Curmudgeon Avenue where you read the next instalment in the lives of Edna and Genevieve.
Both Edna and Genevieve have been given the opportunity to escape to France and have an adventure of their own. Travelling in France is something that Edna has always wanted to do but Genevieve is not so keen on learning more about France and her French roots and is keeping some secrets to herself.
Back in England the fun continues where there is still some mystery surrounding the new stranger to the village but its not long before you find out that this is Matteo Dubois and he is looking for his mother, Genevieve Dubois When he doesn't find her he treats quite a scene that the inhabitants of the village including Harold and Edith are drawn into.
Edna and Genevieve have great fun on their adventure in France they are both very fun characters and offer up some very individual quirkiness to the story. As you read the book you get a better understanding of why they are in France and you find out just how many secrets they are both hiding.
I really enjoyed that the book was based over two settings, England and France, both the scenes gelled well together and I really enjoyed how fun and interesting all of the different characters were. They all added a little bit of fun to the book and they were all individual.
Having not read the first two books in the series I did find it a little harder to get into the book it is written well and as you are reading you you are given enough of the back story so it all fits into place well.
This book is such a great and funny read that I really enjoyed.
