About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

It must be love. A wonderfully romantic novel from the number one Sunday Times best-selling author of Recipe for Love, A French Affair and The Perfect Match.

Althea is the mother of three strong-minded children - one of whom is a Buddhist - and owner of a finicky dog named Bozo.

Saddled with too large a house (albeit in a beautiful Cotswold village), worrisome mortgage payments, a bossy younger sister and irksome ex-husband, Althea still manages to muddle through life comfortably enough. Until she loses her job.

Seeking solace in her borrowed greenhouse, Althea decides to develop her passion for gardening. And when she wins the opportunity to design a garden at the Chelsea Flower Show with the unexpected help of gorgeous architect Patrick Donahugh, it looks as though Althea may have unearthed a new man as well as a new career....

I can listen to Jilly bond talk all day and any story she narrates is brilliant, I like KF but sometimes her females are extremely contrary and it irks, overall though I can recommend.

Jilly Bond and Katie Fforde a winning combo

Likable characters in a comfy setting. It's a very easy listen. I could quibble about the kids not really acting their ages but it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment. Jilly Bond isn't great at male voices however.

One of my favourite Katie Fforde books

Another classic Katie Fforde. A sweet tempered, passionate Alethea meets the challenge of a lifetime... Gardens, Chelsea, a trip to France and an unexpected, possible new love, all wrapped up in a messy family dynamic. Everything's to play for and all is fair in love and gardening competitions.

Reliably optimistic
