Publisher's Summary
Full of her trademark mix of unforgettable characters and heartbreaking secrets, The Butterfly Room is the new spellbinding, multi-generational story from Sunday Times best seller Lucinda Riley.
Posy Montague is approaching her 70th birthday. Still living in her beautiful family home, Admiral House, set in the glorious Suffolk countryside where she spent her own idyllic childhood catching butterflies with her beloved father, and raised her own children, Posy knows she must make an agonising decision.
The house is crumbling around her, and Posy knows the time has come to sell it. Then a face appears from the past - Freddie, her first love, who abandoned her and left her heartbroken 50 years ago.
Already struggling to cope with her son Sam’s inept business dealings and the sudden reappearance of her younger son, Nick, Posy is reluctant to trust in Freddie’s renewed affection. And unbeknownst to Posy, Freddie - and Admiral House - have a devastating secret to reveal....

Amazing story of love, loss & progress
I loved the story - it was a great tale spanning generations, and the narration was fabulous.
I found the writing itself a little pedestrian.
The first part of the story seemed so detailed and long - and the action part, where the mysteries were solved, was a bit rushed, as there were so many ends to tie up! And so many characters to follow up! I was left wondering what did happen to Posie's Maman in the end? And to dear Granny?
The sexy bits were Mills & Boon-esque... And the irony of every character's reliance on alcohol, given one of the plotlines, seemed to get overlooked.
It would make a great miniseries!

Do British people really speak to each other like this?
I quite enjoyed the storyline and found it to be interesting and compelling but not outside the realms of possibility. What was annoying though, was how every single character was so boring, polite and stereotypically upper class British. Nobody swears or ever says a bad word about anyone else, and the 30-somethings speak to each other the exact same way that the 70 year olds do - "dear girl, darling", etc. The men are all thoughtful and kind and competent, the women are endlessly generous and compassionate and the children are all angelic. In the end, I thought the most believable character was Sam, who was painfully recognisable as a real person. So much of the storyline relied on poor communication, and characters keeping secrets from each other for no apparent reason. Everyone is constantly drinking alcohol to get them through the day but apparently only one person has a drinking problem. Enjoyed the book nevertheless!

Sensational!
A beautiful story told with a stunning voice. Another must-read from Lucinda Riley, set in the present and the past.

Good intriguing story
The complications of family and how we are bound together. Another great story of Lucinda Riley and excellent narration bringing the characters to life.

Sweet story, easy read
Wasn’t wowed by the storyline and a little predictable at times, but it was sweet and a nice easy read.
Whilst soothing , the ‘mature’ tone and annunciation of the narrator made all the characters sound much older than they were - which was a little off putting to me.
