Absolutely delightful 22 July 2005
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I absolutely loved this book. It is poignant, interesting, perceptive, riveting and laugh-out-loud funny. Like the heroine's St. Bernard (foisted off onto her as a "Cornish terrier"), Harriet's self-knowledge keeps on growing. Victoria Clayton's books have charm, and none more so than this one. Because it is written in the first person, we learn about Harriet through her own eyes, realizing by the end of the book just what a loveable person she is.

Incidentally, Victoria Clayton's books should be read in order, as each one allows the reader to learn what happened after the end of the preceding one.

Enjoy! All readers of Rosamunde Pilcher and Marcia Willett will love this author.

Superb! 14 Oct 2004
Format:Hardcover
'Clouds Among the Stars' is a beautifully written book. The Byng family are both tragic and hilarious, the plot is wonderfully thought out and the Shakespearean references, far from being preaching, fit perfectly into the book. The characters are immensely likable for all their flaws, and the ending is little short of perfect! A lovely book to cheer you up.

By Damaskcat TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Harriet is the daughter of Waldo Byng - a famous actor. Along with her brother and sisters - all named after Shakespearean characters - she has no need to look for a job. The arrest and imprisonment of her famous father means that Harriet and her siblings must do something to support the household. Harriet's attempt at earning her living gives her confidence, though she is not at all sure about the financial help the family gets from Rupert - a fixture during her childhood.
Amoral and eccentric characters including the delicious Archie, who lives with Rupert, and a phantom filled stay over Christmas at a ramshackle house party in the country, produce laugh out loud funny scenes. The characters all sparkle and the settings are brought vividly to life.
This needs to be read curled up with a box of chocolates and a glass of wine. If you enjoyed Moonshine then you'll love this - social/romantic comedy at its best. It would make an excellent film or TV series.
