About this listen

Nicky Henson reads this hilarious new comedy from the bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

The irrepressible Russell "Buffy" Buffery has upped sticks from London and moved to Knockton, Powys, to a B&B inherited from an old flame. With his future spread before him, and a string of failed marriages behind him, Buffy decides it's time for a new challenge.

Meanwhile: Harold's wife has run off with a younger woman leaving him alone with his as-yet-unwritten novel narrated by Mary Pickford's cat; Amy's weedy boyfriend has turned out to be not so needy after all; and Andy's partner's corset-and-suspender-clad attempts at seduction are having anything but the desired effect. They're all lost with nowhere to go, and feeling well past their sell-by dates. So they decide to enrol on "Courses for Divorces" in a sleepy rural town. Under Buffy's tutelage, they find themselves relearning all those skills they never thought they'd need again, and a whole lot more besides.

Buffy, the main character in this book, is an entertaining bloke, I'd like to meet him.. He has a tale to tell having seen life via his work, a actor and his glossy life in his marriages and extended family..He inherits a small B&B and his life changes from that of busy London to a village in Wales..

There are so many people in this book, each having individual characteristics and a life gone by.. All ages and all interesting with hopes and dreams. Not slushy more down to earth and funny too. Loved it.

A pleasure, love all the different characters.

Great pace that draws you in so you can't put it down. Plenty of fantastic characters but easy to keep tracker of them. Wonderfully read by Nicky Henson the perfect voice for the lead character.

The description of London and parking problems so accurate it was as if I was there...I was almost crying with the description of tea & hob nobs in the car while watching for the traffic warden!
