About this listen

Compton Magna and Nether Bagot sit high on the Fosse Hills to either side of the Gloucestershire/Warwickshire border, just half a mile apart. They form the backdrop to this rich story of secrets and rivalries, as glamorous Ronnie Ledwell returns to take up the reins of her father's horse breeding stud farm, years after she scandalised family and friends by eloping with her lover. News of her return will well and truly set the cat among the pigeons....

It took me a little while to get into the story ( being introduced to so many characters), but once I did I thoroughly enjoyed the adventures taking place in Compton Magna.
The narrator suites the story and was pleasant to listen to.

Very entertaining

I bought this as the ideal listen whilst mucking out stables and general yard work, expecting a quick, somewhat superficial, romp among the horsey crowd. But it didn't take me long to alter my expectations. I've never read Fiona Walker before but will most definitely be searching for more of her work. Her writing is wonderful and often thought provoking. Instead of dipping in and out as my concentration was taken elsewhere I found myself stopping what I was doing so that I could listen intently. Such a delightful surprise.

The narrator was, alas, completely wrong for the book. Jilly Bond has a voice that suits older style writing. Hers is not at all a voice for a contemporary story. Her characterisations are woeful here and I think she might at least have learned the correct pronunciation of 'covert' - to mean woody copse -. I'm glad I didn't let the narrator put me off though, the story itself is rather fabulous.

What a surprise!

Brilliant characters, with the exception of a very irritating Pip ! Fab story and great narration. Had to keep on listening.
The characters were very well described and well rounded, so many traits that filled in a wonderful picture of them.
Looking forward to the next book about this glorious village life.

Absolutely loved it

It's not often a book makes me chuckle to myself as I'm listening but this one really does, it's the little details and quirky jokes that make this something special. I was new to Fiona Walker so I was pleased with this real find. It's a gem of a book and Jilly Bond is really bringing out the humour.

Little laughs out loud
