Pretty pointless...

This book is yet another disappointment from Cathy Bramley. The story seems to have been written just for the sake of it and although it does seem to be a sequel to 'The Plumberry School of Comfort Food' as several of the same characters are featured, the plot-line just plods on & on & on...it took until part 2 to actually explain something that was prior just alluded to, however I was so very bored by them that I actually did not care what what was happening/ had happened to the characters. The narration is dreadful and although it is the same narrator as 'The Plumberry School of Comfort Food' the main character has a completely different voice and accent now in 'The Lemon Tree Cafe' so there is no continuity. I wish I had not wasted a credit on this book and I will be contacting customer service to make a complaint as I have not even been able to listen to the end as it is so awfully dreary and pointless.
Additionally some of the plot-line seems remarkably similar to Alexandra Brown's book 'The Great Village Show'.
This is my last attempt to listen to a Cathy Bramley title if Colleen Prendergast continues to narrate the books as she has done fo the past 7 audio titles.

Absolutely lovely

I absolutely loved this , like a hot cup of tea in front of the fire on a cold winter day.
I strongly recommend that any one wanting to listen to this, listens to The Plumberry School of Comfort Food first , as several of the characters from there feature in this book and it is an advantage to know their background story.
Great narration as always by Colleen Predergast

Brilliant

Yet another gorgeous book by Cathy Bramley.
Strong characters, twists and turns that you weren't expecting full of humour and tears a delightful read.
Another one I had a job to put down.
Coleen Prendagast 's narrating adds to the warmth of the book , her clever use of voices gives each character their individuality.
looking forward to my next read Wickham hall.

Really good read

This is my first audio book and I couldn't have chosen better. This book has it all and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was gutted that it was over and I'll definitely be reading more from this author, it was right up my street!

Actually quite good

Would you listen to The Lemon Tree Café again? Why?

Maybe. It had a few twists and turns, not normally seen in this style of book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Lemon Tree Café?

Interesting family dynamics. I like the bits about building up the business and trying to come up with new ideas etc.

Have you listened to any of Colleen Prendergast’s other performances? How does this one compare?

About the same.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

Much better than previous book. This one had some surprises. Still too much romance for me. And the main character is completely different to her personality in previous book. People can change, but not like this; so was unrealistic.

Disappointing

Unfortunately characters are very weak, the storyline is very tedious and it should have been drastically edited.
