All About Evie

Book Rating

All about Evie was everything I hoped it would be. I loved the first book (The Miseducation of Evie Epworth - another Pigeonhole read!), and this is a worthy sequel

There’s a great 1970’s atmosphere to this, from the fashion (Evie still loves her clothes!), to the music (she likes some very good music!), to the rather delightful attitudes of the men who work with her (it’s not delightful at all, but she doesn’t let them get to her at all!).

Evie is such a likeable character, and someone I’d be more than happy to know. The characters around her are fun, interesting, and as full of personality as Evie herself.

This is a really happy, uplifting and witty read, and I hope that we’ll see more of Evie soon!

Beautiful and haunting

A well written story set in the 1400's, recounted by Samuel, the court jester. Samuel is likeable, fun and it's heartwarming to see him learn a new skill that helps him to follow a dream.

Being a jester has its advantages, not only did it gain him favour with the King, leading to working in the castle but it earned him the trust and confidence of many. With this trust he's able to weave a rich tapestry of stories together, tales of love and hope, hardships and tragedy.

A truly beautiful, heartwarming and haunting read that gives you food for thought.

I would definitely recommend this for the romantic reader, the reader that enjoys a historical background and anyone that is in a book group - it's an absolute must!
