About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of A Vintage Summer, written by Cathy Bramley and read by Colleen Prendergast.

A sparkling summer story that's FULL of surprises!


London has not been kind to Lottie Allbright. Realising it’s time to cut and run, she packs up and moves back home – but finds her family in disarray. In need of a new place to stay, Lottie takes up the offer of a live-in job managing a local vineyard. There’s a lot to learn – she didn’t even know grapes could grow so far north!

Butterworth Wines in the rolling Derbyshire hills has always been run on love and passion but a tragic death has left everyone at a loss. Widowed Betsy is trying to keep the place afloat but is harbouring a debilitating secret. Meanwhile her handsome but interfering grandson, Jensen, is trying to convince her to sell up and move into a home.

Lottie’s determined to save Butterworth Wines, but with all this and an unpredictable English summer to deal with, it’ll be a challenge.

And that’s before she discovers something that will turn her summer – and her world – upside down . . .

Lovely

A really lovely book with the perfect feel good factor. Definitely one to get lost in but easy to pick where you left off.

Good story

Enjoyed this, my first one from Cathy, I will try some more. But not happy to listen to Colleen Pendergast particularly. If she can raise the end of her sentences rather than the repetitive downward inflection that meant I could not hear the ends of her sentences when in the car, maybe she will be better. Slight Brummie accent on all voices, but the story was enjoyable.

Lovely, a feel good story

I really enjoyed this story from beginning to the end, characters and scenarios. I do like a woman who stands up for themselves and I think in a way Lottie has had to. I still think the police should have been called for the horrible Harvey. And we all dream about having a bit of Jensen in our lives.

Amazing book

This book was fantastic from start to end, the characters are so believable and you cannot help liking them all (except Harvey 😀) I didn’t want the story to end I wanted to continue to find out the goings on at Butterworth wines. Loved the fact the was an epilogue to tie everything together. Absolutely loved this book.

Great book but annoying narration.

Good book, but I found this narrator so annoying. Enunciates all the wrong words, almost sounds like she's reading to a child.
