La historia se divide en el tiempo, visitamos el pasado para obtener algo de la historia de fondo y luego llegar al presente con Suzanna y la acumulación de los personajes y la historia que eventualmente todos se enlazan entre sí. Suzanna es el personaje principal, pero esto no se hace evidente hasta más adelante en la historia. Mientras disfrutaba de esta historia, me pareció que al principio iba a paso lento y no fue hasta que conseguí llegar hasta después de la pagina 100 que realmente la historia me mantuvo adicta a su lectura. Debo reconocer que al principio no me gustó Suzanna, pero una vez que entiendes más sobre su vida familiar y ver cómo su carácter evolucionas, tiendes a tomarle cariño. In the Swinging Sixties, the glamorous spoilt socialite Athene appears to have it all, but she has a big fall from grace and disappears, leaving an infant daughter Suzanna. The daughter has fraught, complicated relationships with her remaining family, which has led to bad feelings and social distance between them. Suzanna eventually finds a kind of liberation in the shop that she opens in her village. She builds a whole new community of interesting and caring people who walk through the door of her emporium. Through them she learns more about the real world than she did in her previous 30-something years of sheltered life as the difficult, moody child of a well-to-do family. Me aloque un poco cuando leí facetas de misma en Suzzana y en otros personajes interesantes que conforman esta historia tan sensatamente contada. Jojo inyecta la vida en sus personajes de una manera que ningún otro autor maneja. But the spectre of her mother still haunts Suzanna, setting in place a series of dramatic events. Only by confronting the past will she finally be able to face the future . . .

The Peacock Emporium - JoJo Moyes

Jojo’s work never fails to bring a smile to my face with her honesty, humor, and empathy about what it is to be human—[ Still Me is] a must read!”—Emilia Clarke Some of the great joys of this novel are the wonderful secondary characters, such as Arturro, Father Lenny, Mrs. Creek, etc. Which of these characters stood out most for you? Did you relate personally to any of them? In what ways? I think it’s become an undercurrent in my books—female contentment and emancipation through work! Or at least working out what you love to do. I didn’t think Suzanna was the kind of character who would ever be properly satisfied without that—she reminded me of some mothers I was around when writing this who poured their energy into soft furnishings or playgroups but were somehow always restless and dissatisfied. I think it’s such a gift to know what really makes you happy. An early work from the New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars, Jojo Moyes, the story of a young woman who opens an eclectic shop and comes to terms with the secrets of her past.Suzanna is so different from the rest of the Fairley-Hulmes—both emotionally and in terms of her outlook on life. How do you think these differences helped or hindered her relationships within her family? How do they shape her choices regarding the shop? I feel like I should get a medal for making it through this. Any other author and I would have given up easily after the first couple chapters. I'm not an easy reader, I'm not one of those people that can finish a book in a day so its really a miracle that I slugged through this and finished it.

I was not sure what I was getting into when I started this book. By the end I was enchanted by the story. While the series may have started off as a romance, Jojo Moyes has turned Louisa Clark’s story into one about learning to be, and to love, yourself.”— Bustle Normally I’d just put it down to a bad experience and rush my drink and leave, however I have made a point of reviewing this place due to the fact that it was so dirty I asked for my tea in a takeaway cup and sat on a bench outside. I absolutely could not stand the main character. I found her annoying and depressing. Through out the entire book all you want to do is meet this main character just so you can tell her to grow up and stop complaining. Every time I would finish a chapter I felt like my life was just as crappy's as the main character. While Jojo Moyes does a great job in getting us inside a slightly depressed, deeply unhappy character's mind I still couldn't find myself caring at all about this main character. I didn't care if she ever found happiness or resolved any of her problems...all I wanted was to hurry up and finish the book. I’ve read several of her books and have liked them a lot but I didn’t care for this. I did not enjoy the story and I didn’t feel or believe the romance. I hate cheaters so that was tainting everything for me. I never got pulled in and I wanted to so much. Even at the very end I thought the story would redeem itself but noooooo!An abundance of those refractions involve motherhood and childbirth. Neil, more than anything, wants a family. Suzanna deflects and delays. That’s one reason why she buries herself in the emporium, because a newborn career is a way of postponing Neil’s urgency. Parenting is important for many of the other characters, too. Suzanna’s father and stepmother constantly question their relationships with their eccentric daughter; Jessie has a young daughter she adores; several other characters struggle with parenting, too. Toward the end of the novel, those narrative echoes rapidly increase, as do the refractions and reflections.
