About this listen

Merham is a well-ordered 50s seaside town - the kind of town where everyone knows their place (and those who don't are promptly put in it).

Lottie Swift is an evacuee who has grown up with the respectable Holden family and loves Merham. The Holden's daughter Celia, however, chafes against the constraints on the town and longs to escape....

Loved this story, took a little to keep track of the characters but you felt yourself drawn in, which made you not want to stop listening.

I found this a bit of a slog to get through actually, for me it never really got going and the two main stories were unconnected and messy with a lot of peripheral activity which didn't add to the story. I wouldn't recommend this book sadly.

I wanted to like this as it's JoJo Moyes

Great book test again from Jo Jo Moyes

I enjoyed the characters in the earlier part of the story, but the ones that were introduced in the second part were pretty irritating. I liked how the two parts of the story knitted together eventually.

Enjoyable

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Just didn't seem to get going. I couldn't listen to anymore!

What could Jojo Moyes have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

More pace and more action.

Have you listened to any of Judith Boyd’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Not that I know of

Could you see Foreign Fruit being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

No

Any additional comments?

I won't be keen to listen or read any of Jojo Moyes books.

Boring

I found it quite difficult to follow at times as I was listening to this , which if I had been reading I would have been able to refer back to. But loved the story, and a good ending.

Better in a book

It took a while to get into this one but then I couldn't stop listening! Parallel tales, one with the hoped for ending, the other unexpected! Pure escapism ideal for listening to on a dreary weekend.

Another fab story by John Moyes

Really detailed and believable characters at the beginning and main story was excellent however conclusion was rather quickly and roughly drawn together. Nevertheless a decent read.

Good engaging story but rather quickly pulled together end
