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 . . .

The story itself showed promise but the weak characters let it down. Lotti was too perfect. Jenson was a woos, and his character seemed like an afterthought to make it a romance. The story plot about Buttersworth was interesting and I learned a lot about winemaking. Narrator did a good job, but Jenson voice was a bit feminine. Sorry.

Another good book by this author. I always enjoy her books. Wonderful narration as well. Though I have noticed that in other books Colleen narrates that she sounded more Irish! Regardless I always enjoy the combination of this author and narrator.

good listen
