Discover the brilliant, hilarious and unlikely story of a woman's life rebuilt, from the bestselling author of the Adrian Mole series and The Woman who Went to Bed for a Year

'There are two things that you should know about me immediately: the first is that I am beautiful, the second is that yesterday I killed a man. Both things were accidents . . .'

When Midlands housewife Coventry Dakin kills her next-door neighbour, in a wild attempt to stop him from strangling his wife, she goes on the run.

Finding herself alone and friendless in London, she tries to lose herself in the city's maze of streets.

There, she meets a bewildering cast of eccentric characters.

From Professor Willoughby D'Eresby and his perpetually naked wife Letitia, to Dodo, a care-in the-community inhabitant of Cardboard City, they all contrive to change Coventry in ways she could never have foreseen . . .

Praise for Sue Townsend:

'Laugh-out-loud . . . a teeming world of characters whose foibles and misunderstandings provide glorious amusement. Something deeper and darker than comedy' Sunday Times

Another clever observational tale from Sue Townsend which kept me well entertained over the Christmas season.

Definitely worth a listen!

A good yarn in true Townsend style however the narration is difficult to listen to and the volume is highly variable.

Entertaining once you get past the narration

Absolutely loved it! Another well written book by the late quirky author of Adrian Mole.

What did you like best about Rebuilding Coventry? What did you like least?

Something different from Sue Townsend. A cockeyed take on the theme of someone taken out of their comfort zone and having to get by in a strange and hostile environment., (a woman flees Coventry to London after unintentionally killing a neighbour). Along the way she meets a number of weird characters and has some surreal experiences. The dialogue is great and the story is fine but the experience of listening to the book is spoiled by the narration. The West Midlands accents are so over the top and the narrator sometimes shouts the words, to the extent that I was unable to understand about a third of the text

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rebuilding Coventry?

The conversation in the pub at the beginning of the book

If this book were a film would you go see it?

Probably not but it would make a good TV two hour programme or mini series

Great story - terrible narrartion

Love Sue Townsend and all the other of her audiobooks but this is unbelievably bad. The narrator destroys it with her ludicrous, over-the -top voice acting. It's really terrible to the point I can't believe they released it. I want a new version with a new narrator I can actually enjoy.

Worst narrator I've ever heard
