OPEN HOUSE is a deliciously engaging romantic novel from Jill Mansell, author of over twenty Sunday Times bestsellers including THE ONE YOU REALLY WANT and MIRANDA'S BIG MISTAKE. For fans of Sophie Kinsella and Marian Keyes. Jill's novels are loved by reviewers: 'Warm, witty and wise' Daily Mail

Nell O'Driscoll has known Marcus Kilburton for years - according to her diary, she even had a crush on him as a teenager. When he decides to open Kilburton Castle to the public, Nell takes a job as his assistant - and soon sparks are flying between them. But is Nell free to pursue Marcus, when a figure from her past refuses to let go?

Meanwhile, Nell's best friend, Hetty Brewster, has other problems. Her husband has abandoned her for a bitchy but successful writer. Now the press is full of stories about the frumpy, boring wife losing out to a younger, slimmer model. But Hetty's about to get her chance for sweet revenge - if she can stop being a nice person long enough to take it!

Read for you by Julia Franklin, narrator of MIXED DOUBLES by Jill Mansell.

Full of sexist, elitist and chauvinistic language and storyline. Made sense when I had googled and saw it was first published almost 30 years ago. Got through it but cringed a lot on the way.

This was a beautiful story. I think it'd make a great movie. Just the right amount of romance, drama and sadness.

Clearly written in a time when ideals were different it's a bit of a time capsule in fat shaming and the way women and men treat each other, but it was written awhile ago now. Story still gets you in.

Out of date but good story
