The Snow Globe Judith Kinghorn 9780451472090 Books Reviews

If there is a Downton-shaped hole in your life that desperately needs filling, then look no further than Judith Kinghorn’s captivating, atmospheric and entrancing family sagas set in the earlier part of the 20th century. In her latest novel, The Snow Globe, this outstanding storyteller has penned a dazzling tale of passion, secrets and desire you are simply going to love!

In December 1926, the Forbes family are getting ready to celebrate Christmas and to hosting a dazzling Yuletide celebration at Eden Hall, their majestic family home, but eighteen year old Daisy Forbes cannot help but be worried by this strange sensation that a seismic change is in the air that is going to cause major upheaval for her and her family. As a loving daughter with a particularly close relationship to her father, Daisy has always felt safe and secure in the knowledge that she was loved and in the close bond she had with her Papa, however, when shocking secrets come to light, she realises that the man she trusted above anyone else in the world might not have been as trustworthy and honourable as she had previously thought him…

The only man Daisy can rely on is Stephen Jessop, the housekeeper’s son and the family’s chauffeur. Daisy has known Stephen almost all of her life, but recently their relationship has changed, their feelings for one another have altered and their every encounter seems fraught with tension – and an attraction sizzles between them that is becoming increasingly difficult to deny and resist! As life leads her down an increasingly fraught and confusing path where she finds herself receiving a kiss, a proposal and a declaration of love from three different men, a disconcerted and bewildered Daisy finds herself with no other option but to escape to London and try and sort out her muddled feelings.

When she finally decides to accept the hand of one of her suitors and Stephen comes back into her life, Daisy quickly realises that she has made the wrong choice. But will fate manage to bring her and Stephen together again? Or is their love simply not meant to be?

The talented Judith Kinghorn paints a vivid and colourful picture of life in Edwardian England and The Snow Globe is an addictive and engrossing family saga that I found absolutely impossible to put down. Rich in period detail, wonderfully drawn characters, drama, pathos and emotion, The Snow Globe is a spellbinding tale of family secrets, forbidden love and a changing world that I found fascinating and gripping.

The Snow Globe is a book I couldn’t stop reading and I am already eagerly waiting for the next sumptuous family saga by this first class storyteller!
Just like a snow globe is encased in glass then put on display for us all to admire and look at, 18 year old Daisy Forbes is feeling much the same way.

Christmas 1926, the elegant Forbes family are enjoying the festive time at their home, Eden Hall. Daisy is the youngest child of Mabel and Howard and has always been a daddy’s girl, but now he has broken her heart. Daisy discovers that he has been living a separate life in London with his lover, who just happens to be spending Christmas with the family.

He has destroyed all faith she had in him, and now Stephen, the young man that she deeply loves has announced that he is leaving to begin a new life abroad. Daisy’s life is in turmoil, made harder by the fact that three men are vying for her attention, and her hand in marriage. She does the only thing she knows she can do, she ups and leaves, heading to London.

The Snow Globe is a historical family drama set in a time when the country is recovered from the destruction of WWI, and a sense of newness is emerging.

The characters have all been carefully thought out, and their stories play out beautifully, flowing naturally with one another. Daisy is a young woman who is just becoming an adult and realising that being a grown up is not easy. Along with her mother, Mabel, these two women make the book exceptionally special.

As I was reading along I suddenly realised that the story had become exceptionally visual in my mind, and the images formed were very Downtown Abby-Esq. I had a real sense of satisfaction whilst reading the book as it truly captured my imagination.

I haven’t read any of Judith’s earlier work, and I’m not always a fan of historical fiction, but this book just made me want to keep reading, it engaged me with the emotions that the family were feeling and had me eager to see how the story would end.

Ms. Kinghorn has a true gift for creating compulsive and page-turning fiction. I will certainly be looking out for more of her work in the future.

Good.
I MUST SAY I ENJOYED THE LAST SUMMER MORE.
A slow read but quite entertaining. You'll laugh out loud.
Good book club conversation
Just as in, The Last Summer the author used the early 1900 as the time period for The Snow Globe. The saga of the Forbes family was compounded by the landscape of the British people trying to recover from Work War I. The pomp and tradition of the Forbes family made this read like a Downton Abbey soap opera.

The plot used illegitimate children, lost love, and love affairs to test the characters. Despite the scandalous plot, the writing just didn't connect those events in a meaningful way to the people. Everything felt superficial and undeveloped. Compared to The Last Summer, which I loved, this was a disappointment. The main character, Daisy, didn't have half the depth that some of Kinghorn's prior characters did. This was okay, but I only finished it because I was stuck somewhere without anything else to read.
