Interpretation Toward Books Bidding for Love

When Flora Stanza's uncle dies unexpectedly, leaving her a 51 percent share in the family antiques business, it gives her the perfect chance to leave her glamorous but less than happy London life for the quieter life of the country. Unfortunately, her cousin Charles and his fiancée Annabelle don't seem pleased to find Flora and her very pregnant cat on their doorstep.
Flora knows almost nothing about antiques, but with her London apartment rented out, her cat about to burst with kittens, and a mysterious man warning her about Annabelle, Flora has little choice but to accept her cousin's offer to stay in their abandoned holiday cottage, miles from anything remotely like what Flora considers civilization.
Soon, though, Flora is fighting off dinner invitations from the devastatingly handsome Henry and hiding her eco-friendly lodger, William. Could it be that country life isn't so dull after all?

Crit Epithetical Books Bidding for Love

I'd originally given this book five stars, with 60 pages to go until the end. You know a book is good when you are more upset that you've not got your book than you are about not having any clothes when you leave your suitcase behind. However, the ending just spoilt it a bit for me. It wasn't that I didn't like the outcome - I thought it was suitable for the narrative - it was that it felt so rushed. Everything got sorted out within about ten pages, almost like Fforde was working to a deadline

An excellent British romance ! I read it with a constant smile on my face. A lovely summer read ! Makes you feel good all over !!Loved it ! Highly recommended !



I think a lot of Ffordes latest books are good but going back and reading this one from many years ago was hard. Especially as the love interest is none other than Floras cousin okay couple of times he is referred to as distant but more often than not hes Cousin and thats just weird. I finished it for the sake of finishing it but honestly, it was just cringe-worthy.

Not only is this novel terribly predictable, it commits the worst offense it isn't terribly interesting either. Fforde's style seems to be to tell rather than show so all too often the characters are flat and are not engaging. Most disturbing was the conclusion of the novel by which Flora and her distant cousin are coupled. Distant or not they are still related and the phrase "There were advantages to keeping it in the family," should never, ever be applied to sex and marriage.

This was the first Katie Fforde book I have read. I chose it as I really liked the premise behind 'Bidding for Love'.A young city-slicker woman (Flora) inherits a 51% share of an ailing country antiques business from an uncle. She arrives in the town, pregnant cat in tow, to find her "distant" cousin (Charles) and his awful fiance (Annabelle) are none too pleased to see her.There are a few problems with this book that stopped me from really liking it (SPOILER ALERT):The whole INCEST THEME!!!

O.k., so after a grueling semester of young adult literature, I was pretty much done with angsty teen novels. So, I went back to my comfort zone in chick lit. I picked the first pink book with the urban go-getter girl on the cover. It was this one. It had the added benefit of being a British novel, and I happen to love British chick-lit (Bridget Jones). Basically, this one fit the mold, without any brilliant writing, but the love interest is. her. cousin. Yes, her cousin! O.k., once or twice
