11 posts | 6 read | 37 to read
From internationally bestselling author Kimberley Freeman comes a captivating new novel about a scandalous attraction, a long-forgotten secret, and a place where two women's lives are changed forever. It's 1926 and Violet Armstrong is a waitress at the grand Evergreen Spa Hotel, where Australia's glitterati are spending a winter vacation. Among the guests who remain are Sam and Flora Honeychurch-Blacks, a wealthy brother and sister ensconced in the hotel for an extended stay. Violet and Sam have an attraction that is as passionate as it is forbidden as the hotel closes down for the winter season. When a snowstorm moves in, trapping them all, no one could have imagined what would unfold. The group must let their secrets be buried by the snow, but all snow melts, exposing the truth beneath... Eighty-eight years later, Lauren Beck takes a job at a cafe in the Blue Mountains, built as the first stage of the Evergreen Spa Hotel's return to grandeur. There she meets Tomas, the Danish architect overseeing the project. As their budding relationship grows, Lauren discovers a series of passionate love letters dating back to 1926 that allude to a whirlwind affair--and a tragic secret. Lauren begins to unravel this long-forgotten mystery, but will discovering the truth finally make her brave enough to take a risk that could change her entire life? Inspired by elements of her grandmother's life, Kimberley Freeman has created a complex tale of mystery, heartbreak, and love that will keep you guessing with every twist until the very last page.

Mehso-so

Even though I loved being placed in a fancy Australian hotel back in 1926 with all the rich people that could stay for months at a time, it took me forever to finish. It was my last book challenge book of 2019. I just was not compelled to pick it up. Even though I loved the setting, the characters were not likable. I loved Wildfire Hill by this author. I will read more of her books. This one was not my favorite. 3⭐️ #2020book7

Tracyantoon They can‘t all be 5 stars. Sounded promising though. 5y

Sam Honeychurch-Black

In 1926, he's a young, rich, man from an old high society family who falls in love fast & hard with a waitress at his hotel. Despite the impossibility of their relationship, he's full of hopes & dreams for their future to the point of ignoring reality. The opium addiction may have contributed. 🙃

Photo is Freddy from A Room With A View, but totally how I pictured Sam.

I ❤️ this book

Definitely the best book I have read from a subscription box! This was a Lit-Cube book from a year ago, but I finally got around to it. Really good historical fiction with a modern-day story happening in parallel...if you like Kate Morton, you will probably enjoy this book. Great writing, setting, and characters. 😃

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

booksandcats13 Pretty cover too! 8y
Melissa_J Have you read any of Freeman's other books? They are great, especially 8y

Finally got my litcube for June! Loving the 1920s theme and the Gatsby themed items. Evergreen Falls sounds intriguing!

BookishFeminist Is that a blue totebag or tshirt in the background? Either way it's beautiful! 8y
Yamich49 @BookishFeminist it's actually a pillowcase made of a material that's kinda like burlap. It's very pretty tho! Lol 8y

Lit-Cube roaring 20's box came in! A beautiful pillow cover with a quote from The Great Gatsby, champagne sugar scrub, a sugar daddy, 20's style headband, Great Gatsby quote magnet, and of course the book Evergreen Falls!

BookJunkie429 Sooooo jealous!!! I knew I should've signed up when I had the chance. I love the 20s. What does the headband look like on? 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings The band is actually a little too big for my head, but it is really pretty, I will just have to get some Bobby pins to help pin it. =/ 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @BookJunkie429 ^ and I have to say the pillow cover is a great mesh material that is sturdy and could be used outdoors if you wanted, just gorgeous! 8y

BookJunkie429 @BooksTeasAndBookishThings Very nice! Does the scrub smell nice? 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings It does! I am very partial to lavender lol @BookJunkie429 8y

Lizpixie Wow! You guys get some awesome gift boxes! I wish this and BOTM had international shipping☹️ 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Lizpixie I wish there were more like this for all countries! I am subscribed to 5 boxes and BOTM. I can't get enough! My bookish shirts and totes are out of control lol 8y
BookishBrain I wish I could subscribe to 5 boxes! I get two though! I'm trying to find a job then I can subscribe to more hahahaha...shhhh no one tell my fiancé hah 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @BookishBrain I am very spoiled. I used to get a $75 B&N/BAM! allowance each paycheck, and I tried to also buy bookish items I liked, so when I saw these and 5 of them equal my monthly allowance, I convinced him these were what I wanted. =) 8y
BookishBrain @BooksTeasAndBookishThings that makes a ton of sense! I'm hoping to get my book allowance back after some bills get caught up :) 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @BookishBrain I thought so! Plus, they send books that I may not buy for myself that will let me read out of my comfort reading, which I love. Or they may send a book that I really wanted, but chose another book over it, etc... So, I am just loving these! Hope you are able to get yours soon =) 8y
