About this listen

 Pure escapism on every page, The Distant Shores tells the story of a family torn apart, and the woman who will bring them back together.

Margot Hart travels to Ireland to write a biography of the famous Deverill family. She knows she must speak to the current Lord Deverill – JP – if she is to uncover the secrets of the past. A notorious recluse, JP won’t be an easy man to crack. But Margot is determined – and she is not a woman who is easily put off.

What she never expected was to form a close bond with JP and be drawn into his family disputes. Shouldering the blame for running up debts that forced him to sell the family castle, JP is isolated and vulnerable. With help from his handsome son Colm, it seems as though Margot might be the only one who can restore JP’s fortunes.

Will the family ever succeed in healing rifts that have been centuries in the making?

I’ve read all the Deverill instalments so absolutely needed to read the concluding part too… The story does not disappoint, and ties everything up very satisfactorily. The narration however is weird to say the least… For large parts it’s like listening to your satnav reading to you - The intonation sounds like it’s been put through a voice processor. And it’s sloooow… I listened to the entire book on x1.2 speed which I wouldn’t normally do. Anyhoo, great story. Don’t be put off.

Great story, not great narration

Thoroughly loved it! The voices were off compared to the other books. Took me a while to get into it because of it but it was a great way to finish the series nonetheless!

Wonderful finish!
