Great audiobook - if you love a romance then this is for you! I have listened to it twice and enjoyed it equally both times

Still loved listening to it the second time

One of my favorite books from my teenage years, the rare thing of a genuinely great romance, but with scope and humour and intelligence.

just lovely and absorbing!

I struggled to listen to the narrator. The various accents were really irritating and a few times I nearly gave up on the book. I’m glad I persevered till the end.

Great romance novel

I defy anyone to not enjoy this book. Eva Ibbotson is a wonderful writer and though I don't usually read romance novels, I read this because Marian Keyes recommended it. the audio, though still enjoyable is ruined by the decision of the narrator to use Austrian accents. I don't do this when I read so why would I want to hear it when read to me?

great book but didn't need the Austrian accents.
