The Peacock Emporium by Jojo Moyes

fiction


The Peacock Emporium is a story about a wealthy British family living on an farm estate in a small town.  A hidden family secret is unveiled. 

This is the first Jojo Moyes book that I did not enjoy.  There is one mystery that pulled me through the novel but it wasn’t worth the effort.  First of all, there was no humor and one of the best things about Moyes’ books is usually the humor. Secondly, the point of view changes frequently without any hint regarding whose view is being expressed, losing me for a page or two.  Thirdly, the characters were mostly selfish, unhappy, and unlikeable, unlike all the other Moyes books I’ve read. Fourth, the story was boring.  I thought it would never end.   And, last but not least, the most interesting character is killed off.
