About this listen

 Ellie Summers' life is unravelling. Finding herself pregnant, and her sexy but idle boyfriend Rick less than enthusiastic about parenthood, she needs a plan. Fast. Grace Soudley's life is also coming apart at the seams, her only security is the beautiful yet crumbling old house she was left by her godmother. But unless she can find a fortune, Luckenham House will disintegrate around her.

When Ellie and Grace meet, the two very different women find they can help each other out. Ellie needs a place to stay; Grace needs a lodger. Both of them need a friend. But then the disconcertingly engaging Flynn Cormack arrives on the scene, apparently determined to help. And when Grace discovers some beautiful painted panels hidden behind the tattered dining-room curtains, the whole business of restoration starts to get serious.

As always, I loved this book by Katie Fforde. I found I couldn't stop listening to it until it was finished, and downloaded the next one right away!

Highly recommended

Fantastic

The abridged version cut it all too short for me wonderful story though! Wish they had the unabridged in audible!

Wonderful but cut short

I found it rather dull , lacking any depth compared to her other stories. and why so short?

bleuuuhhh

Wonderful story. Romantic and witty. Couldn't put it down. Narrated Emily's Fix was just perfect with all the different charecters. I will choose more with her reading.

The story was quite nice. I liked that there were 2 main female characters (platonic friendship). it always annoys me how so many lead characters in these stories have no backbone and can't even stand up to family members. they are nice characters but they just need a bit of ummmph sometimes.

It does end rather abruptly though.

nice story but abrupt ending
