About this listen

May Rosevere has reached the grand old age of 110, thanks to several slices of toast with butter every morning, a glass (or two) of port, and the wonders of the Cornish sea air - or so she tells everyone.

But there’s much more to May than her remarkable age. She has a secret. One that no one has ever discovered....

I am sure some people will love this. Not for me... too twee. I plodded on waiting for something to happen. It doesn’t.
I wasn’t very keen on the narration. Very dull with some weird accents

Not for me

This was a rather predictable story and annoyingly slow narration. Not my cup of tea.

Predictable and poorly read but charming characters

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I really enjoyed this story. Annette Holland narrates it brilliantly with great character in each voice - you forget you’re not listening to an entire cast but one talented actor. I’m onto the next in the series within minutes of finishing this one as I’m not ready to leave Pengelly just yet.

Lovely book, beautifully performed

I'm sad to say I found this book quite dreary. I heard it as an audio book and the narration did very little to peak my interest either. I struggled hard to finish it but was quite determined to, if only to honestly add to my Goodreads Reading Challenge.

Boring read for me I'm sorry to say.😔

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I did listen to the end to see if it got better but was very disappointed.
I found the prose and performance clunky and patronising; it left nothing to the imagination.
The premise was ok and promised revelations but nothing happened.
I was particularly irritated that no explanation was given about why May changed her mind about living to 111!

Not a good read
