## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read
*by J***L on 30 July 2025*

Good twist

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absorbing and Moving Read...
*by R***N on 17 March 2022*

Costume designer Nora has rented a luxurious villa in the South of France. She has invited her two daughters, Emma and Libby with their partners and children for a two-week vacation in the sun. But this is far from a happy families situation. From the start it's clear she's a self-absorbed individual who is convinced her actions have always been in the best interest of her two daughters. After her divorce, she threw herself into her work, which often took her away from home. This meant the girls were looked after either by her ex-husband or neighbours. She has never been the kind supportive mother she actually believes she is as those moments, when they did occur, were few and far between. But there is a serious reason for Nora bringing the family together under one roof. She wants them together to enjoy a perfect holiday. She feels it will make the news she is about to break easier. Unfortunately, that is not the case.At the age of 64 Nora looks back and sees her mistakes and how she might have handled things differently. Unfortunately she cannot help making more. The dynamics of the family group makes for a compelling read and kept me turning pages, eager to see what would happen. It’s also a very sad story. What Nora seeks is too little too late. The only positive for me was it brought the two siblings, Emma and Libby closer. It’s difficult to write any more without giving the plot away. So all I will say is Clare Boyd has assembled an interesting group of characters, some flawed, others not so, and incorporated them into a truly absorbing and sometimes moving read.I would like to thank Clare Boyd, Bookouture and Netgalley for an ARC of The Villa in exchange for an honest review.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not what I expected
*by S***  on 7 August 2022*

I feel like the blurb suggested this would be a thriller but after the first few chapters I realised that was not true. That aside, the story itself was good and realistic. 3/5 stars
