About this listen

As a librarian, Imogen read a lot of books, but none of them covered real life on the Riviera.

Her holiday with tennis ace Nicky and the whole glamorous coterie of journalist, playboy, photographer was a revelation. But the path of a jet-set virgin in that lovely wicked world was a hard one. Imogen began to wonder if virtue really was its own reward....

I mogen along with other early characters of Jillys remind me of me. Wear the wrong thing, say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing
Have read Imogen so many times I was speaking the words before the narrator.. I love it 😁

Always loved this book.

Great old favourite- definitely of its time but narrator was just dreadful - accents all over the place and mispronouncing so many words. The curating curate stuck in my mind.

Love the old story - silly and very funny (but of its time) HATED the narration.

Amazing book - Ive always adored this story it’s my favourite alongside Harriet - however the narrator was not on point and it was a bit frustrating - the biggest clanger was when Matt “spoke in fluent french” “Formidable!” in french it is NOT pronounced the same as English forMIDable good grief grrrr lol it’s for-mee-dabbler - seriously who doesn’t know that? The story is still brilliant though so don’t let the narrator put you off xxxx

Wonderful (narrator needed guidance)

Does no one check how words are pronounced after recording?
Eg bared its teeth ...said beared not Barr.. ed
curate...cure it & not as in curating a museum.
Monkeys in Gib..Gibraltar not gibbon. Soft g.
Imo...short for Imogen...not eye mo
I won't listen to this narrator again.

Really if you can’t do accents, you shouldn’t try. Hilarious!! Classic Gilly Cooper, definitely of it’s time

The Accents are hilarious!
