⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let’s not spoil the story by giving you too much of a synopsis. Suffice it to say, if you enjoy contemporary fiction, women’s fiction, easy reading, and as long as you are aware that there are some sensitive topics, you will love The Women of Primrose Square. I listened to it as an Audiobook, from Borrowbox and it was narrated brilliantly by the marvellous Aoife McMahon.
Frank Woods, Emily Dunne, and Violet Hardcastle are the three main protagonists in this book, each with their own story to tell and each with a very different background. For a short while, they all end up as housemates and in their own inimitable way, they are able to help each other to manage their individual situations.
Frank is a troubled family man who needs to become more comfortable in his own skin. Emily is an amazing young woman who hasn’t had the best of starts in life and dealt with this in the only way she knew how to, and Violet has a traumatic past which is the reason she has become known as the ‘witch of Primrose Square’. Everything becomes clear as you read on and become involved once again with the residents of Primrose Square. Carroll covered the many sensitive topics incredibly delicately and a great deal of research must have gone into this book and one reason I gave The Women of Primrose Square 5, well-deserved stars.
An enjoyable and educating read, I would thoroughly recommend this as an escape from the real world for a while. I need to check whether there are any more adventures coming from Primrose Square.
