About this listen

Pure escapism, The Distant Shores tells the story of a family torn apart, and the woman who will bring them back together.

Margot Hart travels to Ireland to write a biography of the famous Deverill family. She knows she must speak to the current Lord Deverill – JP – if she is to uncover the secrets of the past. A notorious recluse, JP won’t be an easy man to crack. But Margot is determined – and she is not a woman who is easily put off.

What she never expected was to form a close bond with JP and be drawn into his family disputes. Shouldering the blame for running up debts that forced him to sell the family castle, JP is isolated and vulnerable. With help from his handsome son Colm, it seems as though Margot might be the only one who can restore JP’s fortunes.

Will the family ever succeed in healing rifts that have been centuries in the making?

great story revealing more about the characters within the book all five of the books have been absolutely brilliant with vivid details making you use your imagination to envision what the author is trying to describe thoroughly. The narrator was very good using different voices for the characters.

I liked this book, but not as much as the others in the series. I think the first 3 were my favourite, and the last 2 not so good. But that’s probably because I prefer the era/ time the first three were set in rather than modern day. However, this book did tie up all the loose ends and it was good to get closure to it. I’m not sure all the spirits/ghosts parts were necessary. I liked the little recaps because I had forgotten some things and it was nice to think about the old characters again. Narration was good. Overall- glad I read it. Also glad I can put the Deverills to bed now!

End of an era

Narration was a little robotic and sometimes the intimation was wrong. On the whole another enjoyable story from Santa.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book I particularly liked the Irish phrases and sentiments regarding faith and life. I don’t usually read about spiritual things and ghosts but I found myself engaging with the experiences and beliefs of others. Worth reading

Lovely read

I struggled to adjust to the change of narrator especially after listening to all the other stories back to back, it was a bit like a whole new change of characters. However once I got into it and got used to the change of narrator it was another great story with more added twists to the devil story.
The story is a reminder as to what is really important in life.

Another great twist to the Deveral story

When I first started listening to this book some how I just couldn't get into it but I started once again and I just couldn't stop. What a lovely book it was and what a good imagination Santa Montefiore has, it reminded me of the "the old power line' that I read many years ago.
Well worth listening too I highly recommend it.

Very enjoyable

Like all the series very good. A few annoying voices but I haven’t been to Ireland so maybe they are true accents.
