Young and enthusiastic, Matthew has no knowledge of farming and no experience of living in the countryside.

Great story but the Narrator let it down

The story was excellent but the Narrator let it down when trying to the voices of the characters : Canadian and Welsh

More than I thought!

What a lovely story this turned out to be. It was a change from my thriller books. Women's fiction, but not "mushy"

the end !

It was great apart from the narration of the Canadians but then all of a sudden it rushes an ending that becomes partly supernatural and I wasnt even sure what happened !

Publisher's Summary:

It begins with a singing and dancing septet in dusty church halls. But it is not the sisters dancing that fills the seats: it is the torrents of hair they let loose at the end of each show. And their hair will pull them out of poverty, to the salons of Dublin and the palazzi of Venice. It will bring some of them love and each of them loss. For their fame and fortune will come at a terrible price...

Critic Reviews:

"Michelle Lovric is devilishly clever, fiendishly comic and generally just an irresistible novelist. I delighted in every page." (Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love)

"Has a swagger and style that makes it an enjoyable read." (Sunday Times)

Great Listen

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, yes, yes! It's one of those rare books that has you counting the minutes to when you'll be able to get back to it, whilst feeling a little sad that each minute listened to means you'll have less and less time in the company of the Swiney Godivas.

What other book might you compare The True and Splendid History of the Harristown Sisters to and why?

It doesn't remind me of any other book. It's an original.

Which scene was your favorite?

No one scene stood out for me. Although it took me a few chapters to get into it, once I was hooked, that was it!

Who was the most memorable character of The True and Splendid History of the Harristown Sisters and why?

Too hard to choose. Caroline Lennon does a fabulous job of all characters, but for me, her Darcy Swiney was spectacular.

Any additional comments?

This is definitely a book I will listen to again, and I would recommend it to just about anyone.

Critic Reviews:

Praise for the author: Delicious, delightful, and warm, Lucy Diamond never fails to make you laugh out loud and cheer for her colourful cast of characters. (Rowan Coleman)

Charming, funny and as satisfying as a giant tiramisu. Loved it. (Milly Johnson)

Members Reviews:

Excellent listen - feel good

Great book - nothing less than expected from this author , was not disappointed in the slightest. Bring on the next one .

Pleasant!

Any additional comments?

This is a pleasant enough novel. It didn't really go anywhere though and was predictable. In the last few chapters, I was just wanting to get to the end, so I could move on to the next book, rather than care about what happened (never a good thing). I suppose that was due to it being a bit bland by then. Its worth noting that if I don't enjoy a book, I usually just discard it and move on. I didn't in this case because the characters were pleasent enough and I expected more to happen.

A Great Listen

Yet another delightful book by Lucy. She has this fantastic ability of seamlessly entwining her characters lives together without you really noticing. I wasn't sure about the narrator at the beginning but I quickly decided that she brought the book to life gently and effortlessly. Being laid up with a bad back I found the narration rather soothing and the story line, whilst a little predictable in places, was still a great listen. As I expected fabulous characters brought to life by Lucy, I can visualise them all! If your looking for a way to chillax and unwind I would certainly recommend finding a comfy chair, putting in your earphones, closing your eyes and then just listen. Perfect

Very entertaining

Would you listen to The Year of Taking Chances again? Why?

If you like books that end with "The love of my life", this is for you. A classic chick lit and a great entertaining read for the summer. Not too much romance and a great deal of entrepreneurship. Throw in some fashion, a celebrity, a husband and an ex and it's a perfect mix. Will never read fortune cookies the same way again.

Good story - engaging central characters

Would you listen to The Year of Taking Chances again? Why?

Yes, I would listen to this story again, I got to know the characters and I enjoyed the twists and turns in their lives - they were believable.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I enjoyed the times when the girls were working together

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was moved when Spencer become ill

Any additional comments?

Well worth a read/listen

Publisher's Summary:

There are some things which even the closest friendship cannot survive.... Neighbours Edie Kelsey and Lil Horton have been friends for more than twenty years, sharing the joys and sorrows of tough lives as the wives of fishermen in Grimsby.

So it was no surprise that their children were close and that Edie's son, Frank, and Lil's daughter, Irene, would fall in love and marry at a young age. But the declaration of war in 1939 changes everything. Frank goes off to fight, and Irene and baby Tommy, along with Edie's youngest son, are sent to the countryside for safety. With Edie's husband, Archie, fishing the dangerous waters in the North Sea and daughter Beth in London doing "important war work", Edie's family is torn apart.

Friendship sustains Edie and Lil, but tragedy follows, and there's concern that Beth seems to have disappeared. But it is Irene's return, during the VE day celebrations, that sends shockwaves through the family and threatens to tear Edie and Lil's friendship apart forever.

Members Reviews:

Best one yet!

For me out of all the book series .... I love this book more. It was hard for me to pick and choose but this book had it all. You get the beginning prologue of how Jane and Roderick met and how it all begin. I have to admit this book had me guessing. Listening to this audiobook was wonderful. I can close my eyes and feel like it was happening right now. For me the audiobook brought it alive. Don't get me wrong ... Reading a book is still a good hobby to do, but listening to the audiobooks has it perks. For example, I must have read the book way to fast and miss some parts and was able to catch it this time. I was able to just relax and close my eyes while just listening to this book. There are many more perks but you get what I am trying to say. The storyline gives you what you want and more than you can hope. I would DEFINITELY recommend it!

Too many monotonous facts repeated

Good story plot. Good narration. The repeated facts dragged on. I like the characters. Wouldn't read again.

Members Reviews:

A little short, but lovely.

I really enjoyed listening to this. This is the first audio book I've listened to after a failed attempt with another book. I hadn't factored how much the performance affects the book. The first one I listened to was awful and I couldn't get through it. However, Melody Grove brought this book to life without the need to give strange voices and accents to characters. They were perfectly performed and I enjoyed the book a lot.

I hadn't realised this was part of a series, so I'm a little disappointed that wasn't noted in the blurb - I've missed the first two books now and am never keen on going backwards. Having said that, I enjoyed the characters so much that I'm tempted to get to know them from the start.

The final thing to note is that the book was pretty short. It was going along at a lovely pace but then the ending felt very rushed. The book could have been much longer and kept at the same pace for my preference. These are minor niggles though, as it's a lovely, light book.

Rather Shallow

Happy girly girly endings. Some good insights into the psyche along the way; but very much a chic book. Lacking depth & something to get your teeth into.

An emotional journey

Brilliant book, used up every emotion I had, couldn't put it down or pause it :) well read, just another amazing addition to Evie's story

Good but one voice annoyed

Annoying childs voice off putting. You dont want to hear that constantly.

Good story and ending though

wish there was a fourth one!

Thoroughly enjoyed All 3.... Just wish there was a fourth one.

The story line was great. The narrator was fab!

will be listening to more of her books.

Critic Reviews:

"A heart-warming debut" (The Bookseller)

Members Reviews:

Light-hearted story of miscommunication and love

I loved this light hearted chick lit story of miscommunication and love. Olivia and Daniel seemed doomed to be best friends forever due to a lot of misunderstanding between the two. She's hurt when he begins to date her flatmate and tries speed dating herself out of a desperate attempt to move on. When a stalker comes on the scene the stakes get higher and you'll find yourself wanting to keep reading even if it's late to find out if Daniel will realise what's been staring him in the face for a very long time!

Five Stars

Good book. I enjoyed it. Had some suspenseful parts.

Talk to me

This review maybe considered a little biased considering it was written by my lovely step-daughter not to mention I'm a bloke, however....

I enjoyed the read as it developed and rounded the characters, Olivia initially drove me mad as she would not confront her feelings and share them with Daniel, Emily is someone we all have come across, self centered and manipulative. The added twist of the stalker made this romcom that bit more accessible to a wider audience, excellent and well done Jules.

but pretty good.

Wasn't what I expected, but pretty good.

The one book to take on holiday with you.

âTalk to meâ is a stunning début. Jules Wake taps into the Zeitgeist of the moment and delivers a novel that is contemporary and heart warming. It has the camaraderie and fashion sense of Sex in the City, but has the unique pulse of London.

âTalk to meâ feels like it is fresh out from the pages of Hello magazine with it's references to latest fashion trends. I have to admit, I am a bit of a fashion philistine and I didn't know what a Manolo Blanik was before; but now I feel educated.

Jules Wake creates memorable characters that often say the most laugh out loud things- things I wish I would be able to say. Emily is the flatmate and not such a nice girl. Daniel is lovely, if not a bit misguided and Kate provides some antipodean charms.

Olivia and Daniel have problems getting past the starting gate. After a break up, Daniel starts to date Olivia Flatmate. That starts a whole series of events that make you wonder if they will ever come to their senses.

Although there are many soap opera reference and mentions of various cosmetics, there is more depth to it. There are some real consequence to Olivia's speed dating disaster and how easily it is for something that seems innocent at the time to turn life threatening.

Jules Wake's âTalk to meâ is the next wave in chick lit â it is a brilliant novel that is funny, clever and romantic. Not since Sophie Kinsella and Helen Fielding, has there been such a coup d'etat for the genre. If you can only take one book with you on holiday this year- then this is that book.

Lovely lighthearted listen

Takes a little while to get used to some of the accents but a lovely lighthearted listen with some really great bits to keep you gripped

Boring and obvious

A single plot dragged out for 57 chapters. A lot of repetitive thoughts by the characters. No layers at all.

Didn't like the male voices.

I love these series of books !

I had not heard of this of this Author before but her books are a delight.

You go through all of the emotions while listening to these books, but they always have a happy ending !

The stories are creative and different with each book and I now have all of them.

The characters are diverse and likeable and the descriptions of the locations are wonderfully thought out with descriptions.

Relaxing read

This was a predictable story but enjoyable and easy to listen too. These romantic books are all very to listen to, I was transported to New York which I love X

Easy listening

Great, simple, easy to follow story. Well written & well read. An enjoyable listen! I would recommend this great little audible book.

Captivating family drama excellent

Captivating story with great characters. I was left at the end of the book wondering what would happen to the characters from there there is so much more to this. sue Jenkins was a joy to listen to as the narrator of this book and I will definitely listen to more books read by her she puts everything into what she is reading.

The book alive in only a way that a good narrator can
