Summary
On moving to Brighton, Georgie finds throwing herself into the city's delights fun and exciting, but before she knows it, she's sliding into all kinds of trouble. Charlotte is in the city for a new start, hoping to keep her head down. A terrible revelation sent Rosa running from London, but could her passion for food lead her to more interesting places? As the three tenants find each other, it's as if a whole new chapter of their lives has begun.

Very good
Lovely story, thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the characters and the ups and downs of their lives. Lucy Diamond is one of my favourite authors, have loved all of her books so far. The narrator was really good too

Marred by narration
I needed to have a second listen to enjoy the writing as I found the narration too annoying the first time. The narrator has lovely neutral tone but her emphasis is almost always slightly “off” . It is is tribute to Lucy Diamond’s stories that I gave it another chance.

Easy reading escape
A nice book, if you want to escape your problems and read about others coming through theirs.
My only gripe was the voices. But they made my Husband laugh.

It was ok just an easy listen
None of the characters really or stood out or I didn’t get attached to them because it jumped from one person to the next. The narration was ok but the children’s voices and a couple of others grated on me.

Another cosy listen from Lucy Diamond
Lucy Diamond books are always a nice, easy listen with varied, well developed characters and plot twists. The House of New Beginnings is no different and as the title suggests, it follows a group of individuals, each struggling on their various paths and looking for a new start.
The only thing that let this book down for me was the narration. When speaking in her own accent the narrator was very pleasant to listen to, however her regional accents made me cringe, particularly her Yorkshire accents - she made them all sound simple. And the male voices all had a hint of innuendo in them even when having the most banal, innocent conversations.
Narration aside, I would recommend.
