Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of The House of Hope and Dreams by Trisha Ashley, read by Julia Franklin.
From the Sunday Times bestselling Trisha Ashley, this novel will more than satisfy romantic comedy fans. And it also contains recipes!
When Carey Revell unexpectedly becomes the heir to Mossby, his family’s ancestral home, it’s rather a mixed blessing. The house is large but rundown and comes with a pair of resentful relatives who can’t be asked to leave.
Still, newly dumped by his girlfriend and also from his job as a TV interior designer, Carey needs somewhere to lick his wounds. And Mossby would be perfect for a renovation show. He already knows someone who could restore the stained glass windows in the older part of the house…
Angel Arrowsmith has spent the last ten years happily working and living with her artist mentor and partner. But suddenly bereaved, she finds herself heartbroken, without a home or a livelihood. Life will never be the same again – until old friend Carey Revell comes to the rescue.
They move in to Mossby with high hopes. But the house has a secret at its heart: an old legend concerning one of the famous windows. Will all their dreams for happiness be shattered? Or can Carey and Angel find a way to make this house a home?
Heart-warming, witty and quirkily original, Trisha Ashley's THE HOUSE OF HOPES AND DREAMS will delight both old fans and new listeners alike.

Tricia never fails
I found the performance was, on the whole, pleasant but found the reading a bit jerky

Enjoyable
I have read or listened to most of Trisha Ashley’s books and enjoyed them. I particularly enjoyed this one. A nice story that is not the usual run of the mill romance.

Enjoyable story
I really enjoyed the story but found the narration absolutely painful. Over enunciated, pauses in the wrong places and voice much to old for the of characters.

House of hopes and dreams
I quite enjoyed the story but felt the overall experience was spoilt by the reader sniffing frequently.

Great countryside mystery
While initially put-off by Ms Franklin's narration I quickly grew to appreciate and respect that this lady clearly has a passion for enunciating every single syllable correctly. She seems extremely passionate about reading and her performance stood alone, quite a lot of the time, to the story.
I am pleased the volume of this audiobook is considerably louder than previous listens, as some of those were becoming increasingly difficult to hear even in the quietest of environments.
Trisha Ashley's story was full, descriptive and enthralling. I have laughed and gasped at many parts, which have not failed to entertain me. I am pleased the relationship between the two main characters ended in the way it did but I was a little confused throughout the story at how this relationship was played out - although, admittedly, so was the main character herself.
I liked the mystery that the house held and was satisfied at the story's conclusion.
