About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Will Anna's grand designs prove just a pipe dream?
Anna, a newly qualified interior designer, has decided it's time to put her money and her expertise where her mouth is. She's risked everything on buying a tiny but adorable cottage so she can renovate it, sell it on, and prove to her family that she can earn her own living.
Outside, the chocolate-box cottage is perfect, but inside all is chaos: with a ladder for a staircase, no downstairs flooring, candles the only form of lighting and a sleeping bag and camping mat for a bed, Anna's soon wondering whether she's bitten off more than she can chew.
Her neighbour Chloe comes to the rescue, providing tea, wine and sympathy - and a recently rescued greyhound, Caroline. But just as Anna's starting to believe she's found the perfect idyll, the good-looking yet impossible Rob Hunter arrives on the scene, putting up more obstacles than the Grand National. Can Anna get over all of life's hurdles?

Good book but poor narration
I liked the story but it was rather ruined by the narrator who is more suited to comedy or children’s books

Love the book - found the reader annoying.
Great book from Katie as usual.
However the narrator had a lot of ‘inflections’ at the end of sentences which was annoying and a distraction.
Why couldn’t she just read it normally?
A shame as it spoiled the enjoyment.

Gave up at chapter 16
Narration was irritating and, disappointingly, I wasn’t interested in how the story ended. Will stick to reading Katie in future

Story good, narration not
The story is ok if you get past the men are clever & strong, girls are a bit silly vibe but the narration was very strange, it didn’t flow, it was like someone was reading without understanding what they were saying

Good story spoiled by terrible narrator
The story was good although the ending was a bit abrupt. I have listened to lots of the Katie fforde books but this narrator is the worst. She is whiney, dragging words at parts and to be honest annoying. If I hadn’t paid for this I would have returned it! I slogged through but her narration spoilt the story. Jilly bond much better. I wish I had bought the book to read instead
