About this listen

 The perfect escapist read, for all fans of Cathy Bramley and Jenny Colgan. A Year at the Star and Sixpence is Holly Hepburn's four Star and Sixpence novellas collected together as a novel for the first time.
When sisters Nessie and Sam inherit a little pub in a beautiful country village they jump at the chance to escape their messy lives and start afresh. But when they arrive at the Star and Sixpence, it's not quite what they imagined - it's pretty much derelict, ruined by debts, and it's going to be a huge job to get it up and running again. But they are determined to make the best of this new life and they set about making the pub the heart of the village once again. Their first year at the Star and Sixpence won't be easy, though nothing worth doing ever is.
But when the sisters' past comes back to haunt them, they start to think that the fresh start they needed is very far away indeed…
Curl up with A Year at the Star and Sixpence - the perfect novel to welcome Spring.

Loved the story very much. Not sure when in a discussion narrator jeeps referring to "The other woman" instead of their name.?

Fab story

This book was written in four parts, one for each season of the year. Probably originally sold separately on Kindle! Really enjoyed the first one but once 'Summer ' started, it became obvious that it didn't flow and at the beginning of each new season, we got a recap on characters and the storyline, reiterating various facts and lots of repeats!
Such a shame that whoever decided to release this as a whole book for sale didn't edit it that way. The repartition was just annoying!
Good plot and strong characters, with nice if a little predictable outcomes. Very much a nearly but not quite one for me and will be a little wary of anything else I see by this author. A real pity as it has so much potential!

Lovely story but 4 books in 1!

What a great book. I absolutely love Karen Cass as a narrator. She reads beautifully. Holly Hepburn writes my kind of stories. Hopeless romantic novels. I am an illustrator and I love creating my artwork while listening to great audio books. Thank you.
