About this listen

 'Brimming with hope, heart and intrigue' JESSICA RYN

'What a beautiful, compelling book! . . . I loved it' HEMA SUKUMAR

'A real hug of a book' HAZEL PRIOR

You can choose your home, but you can't choose who lives next door . . .

Twenty-five-year-old Kat Bennett has never felt at home anywhere, especially not in crumbling Shelley House. The other residents think she's prickly and unapproachable, but beneath her tough exterior, Kat is plagued by guilt from her past and looking for somewhere to belong.

Seventy-seven-year-old Dorothy Darling has lived in Shelley House for longer than anyone else, and if you believe the other tenants, she's as cantankerous and vindictive as they come. Dorothy may spend her days spying on the neighbours, but she has a closely guarded secret herself - and a good reason for barely leaving her home.

When their building faces demolition, sworn enemies Kat and Dorothy become unlikely allies in their quest to save their historic home; and even less likely detectives when they suspect that foul play is coming from within Shelley House . . .

It was a lovely story, utter escapism in that it wasn't in any way believable, but very enjoyable and engaging nonetheless. Great narration too. I'd happily listen to another by Freya Sampson.

A very nice story

This book is for you if you are pining for a wholesome read.
We've all met a 'Dorothy' in our time, but things do not go well when this one meets her nemesis.

Living in Shelley House has many memories for the old and the young. I enjoyed how the generations worked together for one solution.

All the characters had depth, and I found them believable.

Great for a holiday, entertaining and light-hearted.

4/5

A good all rounder.

love the stories with unexpected turns and twists. Not a romcom but the story of 2 damaged individuals and collection of other characters that bring a depth to the overall piece. The narrator is also great giving each character a distinctive voice.

another excellent book by the Author
