Summary
Ria and Marilyn have never met - they live thousands of miles apart, separated by the Atlantic Ocean: one in a big, warm, Victorian house in Tara Road, Dublin, the other in a modern, open-plan house in New England.
Two more unlikely friends would be hard to find: Ria's life revolves around her family and friends while Marilyn's reserve is born of grief. But when each needs a place to escape to, a house exchange seems the ideal solution.
Along with the borrowed houses come neighbours and friends, gossip and speculation as Ria and Marilyn swap lives for the summer....

Loved it!
Thoroughly enjoyed this audible book. I'm definitely a fan of Maeve Binchey and this was a good one.

An easy listen
This was a really easy listen, a nice story that moved along on pace. I really enjoyed it and finished it in 3 days.
I wasn’t a fan of the narrator though. All the characters seemed to talk in a twee country Irish style, ( bar the American characters) despite them being from Dublin and the male characters just sounded gruff without any other discerning personality.

Lovely book
I enjoyed this book a lot . I really wanted to hear more of the eventual outcome and felt it ended with a lot of unanswered questions.

Very enjoyable tale
Filled with ups and downs. This is the first Maeve Binchy novel I have ‘read’. I enjoyed the narration and how so many aspects of life were woven into the tale without things feeling too much.

What a wonderfully read, warm book.
I absolutely adored this audio book. Kate Binchy told the story so well that I didn't want it to end. I purchased it as my holiday read and looked forward to my sessions with Kate Binchy everyday on the beach. The story flows perfectly with warm lovable characters throughout and Kate Binchys story telling is magical, she really brings the characters to life. I believe that even a wonderful story can so easily be completely ruined by a terrible narrator, but the combination of a great book and a fantastic narrator in Tara Road made this the most enjoyable book I've listened to in a very long time. I am already searching for my next Maeve Binchy/Kate Binchy collaboration and look forward to sitting back and enjoying it.

Lovely gentle story
Great narration and a warm story with likeable characters that you could connect to. Another feather in Ms Bincheys already full cap!

Still not convinced...
I love the Irish accents and way with words and the narrator is excellent, but this is the second Maeve Binchy I've read and though the stories are easy and pleasant, I don't feel they really go anywhere. Maybe I've read too many crime thrillers!
