The novels of Madeleine Wickham are every bit as sassy and clever as her Sophie Kinsella books. With Sleeping Arrangements she delivers a tantalizing tale about an outrageous family vacation—one in which love lies in the most unexpected places…Chloe needs a holiday. Her partner, Philip, has troubles at work, and the whole family wants a break. Hugh is not a happy man. His immaculate wife, Amanda, seems more interested in her new kitchen than in him—and he works so hard to pay for it, he barely has time for his children. Maybe he’ll have a chance to bond with them on holiday…“Wickham has a shrewdly malicious touch with her characters.”—Atlantic MonthlyWhen the two families arrive at a villa in Spain for their respective vacations, they all get a shock—it has been double-booked. An uneasy week of sharing begins, and tensions mount in the soaring heat. But the temperature isn’t solely to blame: What no one else realizes is that Chloe and Hugh have a history—and that the “accidental” overlap might not have been so accidental after all… “A delightful story…surprises abound…Wickham does a bang-up job.”—Publishers Weekly

Könnyed, rövid olvasmány, de tetszett. Hosszabban is elviseltem volna, ezt a nyaralós, medencézős hangulatot, olyan volt, mintha nyaralnék. Sophie Kinsella-tól nem ájultam el, de mint az előszavában írja, ezek az álnéven írt könyvei még más sílusúak, mint a mostaniak, így arra is kíváncsi vagyok még...
This is the first (and only) book I'll read by Madeleine Wickham. What absolute crap! Of the 4 main characters, none of them is likable. Nor do any of them "mature" throughout the book. The writing is flat, the characters are one-dimensional and the plot is just so-so. Had I not needed a book set...
I thought this story was cute and well thought out but the ending was alittle to real life for me. I read books to get away from depressing realistic situations silly.
Sleeping Arrangements is one of Sophie Kinsella's old books that she has written as Madeleine Wickham. I have read only one Madeleine Wickham book, Cocktails for Three, and I thought it was a very simple book, it wasn't one of my favourites but it was good. I am currently on vacation so I thought re...
