The Fortnight in September chronicles one family’s seaside holiday. Though they visit every year, the joy of the familiar is not without its challenges. R. C. Sherriff's writing is full of minute detail, capturing the sounds, smells and sights of everyday life for ordinary people.

Every year the Stevens family pack their things and enjoy two weeks’ holiday in Bognor Regis. Their journey starts at home in Dulwich, where everyone takes pride in fine-tuning holiday preparations, from marshalling helpful neighbours to carefully boarding the emptiest train carriage.

The family always stay in “Seaview”, an increasingly shabby boarding house, complete with ageing landlady Mrs Huggett. Whilst Mr Stevens hopes nothing has changed, and his wife hides her fear of the sea, their two teenage children Dick and Mary steal away in search of adventure and romance.

The Fortnight in September is part of the Persephone Audiobook Collection, a series of forgotten classics including neglected fiction and non-fiction by women writers. First published in 1931, this edition is prefaced by an extract from the author’s 1968 memoir, No Leading Lady.

I really enjoyed this story and I would like to hear other books by this author. The narrator was perfect; he was at one with the story and switched effortlessly between the different accents and voices. The sound quality was also excellent – lovely and loud. The author gives you a real insight into the interior life of the characters which makes you love them. You feel as if you were in Bognor with them and you are sad when the holiday is over. This is the kind of audiobook that you can listen to over and over again.

Perfect narration of a lovely book

It's a perfect distillation of a moment in time. Absorbing and compelling. Such a great narration too. It seems at times so long ago and alien and at times so perfectly relatable. I will revisit the book many times I think.

R C Sherrif is a master storyteller. It was read superbly by Peter Kenny. The story is a gentle captivating tale of a family holiday with each member enjoying the seaside in different ways. Highly recommend this audiobook.

Just a wonderful, beautifully observed story about a family going on holiday at the end of the summer and the end of the British Seaside. Intelligent, subtle and heartbreaking.
