About this listen

Soundings and Choc Lit present the audio edition of Summer of Hopes and Dreams.

Rosie Bunting has spent her life caring for others, often at the expense of her own hopes and dreams. But when she overhears somebody describing her as ‘boring’, she decides it’s time for a change. Little does she realise that the outdoor pursuits weekend brochure handed to her at the local Art Café will kick start a summer that will see her abseiling down a Welsh cliff face in ‘eye watering’ leggings, rediscovering her artistic side and unexpectedly inheriting an old fire engine. It also involves meeting hunky outdoor instructor, Gareth Merwyn-Jones - although of course he’d never be interested in Dozy Rosie Bunting...would he?

This is the latest of the Art Cafe books and I’ve enjoyed each one. Unfortunately my eyesight prevents me reading now but Audible is great and reads it to me. I’m so grateful this Art Cafe book from the so talented Sue McDonagh is available. It transported me to sandy beaches to mountains and the wonderful families we learn to love and get exasperated with. Always a wonderful read with subjects Sue is either familiar with or researches brilliantly. Can’t wait for another from this fabulous author.

Perfect summer read OR to brighten your winter
