Format:Paperback
I really enjoyed this book because it has a fresh and different kind of plot, and an anti heroine who you find yourself admiring if not particularly liking very much. The supporting characters are also particularly well drawn, and you find yourself rooting for their lives to turn out happily even if you're not sure what you want to happen to Fleur herself...
A highly recommended read.

What's remarkable about The Gatecrasher is that the "heroine" is anything but. In fact, even at the end of the story I didn't like her much. It's the impact that Fleur has on the lives around her that makes this a good book. The other characters - Richard the widower she picks up at his wives' memorial service, Johnny her longtime friend who finally kicks her where she needs it, Richard's children and in-laws, and finally Zara, her own daughter - that you come to love, each for their own strengths and weaknesses. The two teens, Antony and Zara, are particularly compelling.

I only really bought this book because it was by Sophie Kinsella writing under her real name of Madeleine Wickham and as I enjoyed the shopaholic books and others written by 'sophie' i thought i'd give this a go. The book is very differently written to the 'sophie' ones, much more serious i think. However, the plot was pretty good and I did enjoy it on the whole but not something I would've chosen usually.

Is this the same writer?
I really cannot believe that Sophie Kinsella and Madelene Wickham is the same writer. I enjoyed most of Sophie Kinsella's books but this one I read is absolutely meaningless,... Read more

Prefer Sophie Kinsella
Sophie Kinsella brings more charm, more wit, more depth and more laughs to her stories. Everything that Madeleine Wickham seems to lack. Read more

A unusual liking...
This book intrigued me in many ways, mainly because the main character in the book, Fleur, was anything but your typical chick lit heroine. Read more

A disappointment
An interesting plotline, a really good buildup, some well-drawn characters - even a bit of insight into Fleur's emotional 'baggage'. Sounds promising? What a let-down! Read more

A decent enough book if you can ignore the appalling editing!
I've read a couple of Madelaine Wickham's books before- and virtually all of those written under her pseudonym of Sophie Kinsella- and I've enjoyed most of them. Read more
