About this listen

From MILLION COPY BESTSELLER Judy Leigh

'Judy’s done it again. Every woman over a certain age should read this wonderful book' Jennifer Bohnet

Deep in the Somerset countryside, the Combe Pomeroy village library hosts a monthly book club.

Ruth the librarian fears she’s too old to find love, but a discussion about Lady Chatterley’s Lover makes her think again.

Aurora doesn’t feel seventy-two and longs to relive the excitement of her youth, while Verity is getting increasingly tired of her husband Mark’s grumpiness and wonders if their son’s imminent flight from the nest might be just the moment for her to fly too. And Danielle is fed up with her cheating husband. Surely life has more in store for her than to settle for second best?

The glue that holds Combe Pomeroy together is Jeannie. Doyenne of the local cider farm and heartbeat of her family and community, no one has noticed that Jeannie needs some looking after too. Has the moment for her to retire finally arrived, and if so, what does her future hold?

From a book club French exchange trip, to many celebrations at the farm, this is the year that everything changes, that lifelong friendships are tested, and for some of the women, they finally get the love they deserve.

Judy Leigh is back with her unmistakable recipe of friendship and fun, love and laughter. The perfect feel-good novel for all fans of Dawn French, Dee Macdonald and Cathy Hopkins.

Poor sound

Lovely story marred by poor sound quality. It was if the reader was walking around the room often out of range and quality blurred. Shame

Good storyline

I really enjoyed the story line, however it was really difficult to listen to. It sounded like the narrator hadn’t placed the microphone properly, and I ended up missing quite a lot of words. For example, when Danielle first came into the shop, I thought she was called Tanya and it took a little bit to catch both the twins names. You had to really be concentrating to listen to it.

There are anomalies in some of the chapters where parts of them are repeated, I thought I’d skipped back on occasions but listening back, it was the same again.
Chapter 33 is read twice in the same chapter and chapter 34 is missing altogether and I think that ties up a couple of characters and after listening so intently for so long, I was disappointed not to have heard this!

lovely story BUT!

the story was really nice and gentle, just what I wanted for a bedtime listen. unfortunately the narrator is difficult to understand and I had to really strain the brain to make out what she was saying for most of it.
