About this listen

On a beautiful spring day, Julia Harburn sat on a seat in Kensington Gardens enjoying the sunshine.

She was wearing a white frock and a large straw hat with a sapphire-blue ribbon which exactly matched her eyes - a strange coincidence, as it turned out, for the blue sapphire was to have a far-reaching influence upon her life.

So far, her life had been somewhat dull and circumscribed; but quite suddenly her horizons were enlarged. She began to make new friends - and enemies - and she began to discover new strength and purpose in her own nature. This development of her character led her into strange adventures.

This is a rather lovely, old fashioned type story. Has the feel of a Patricia Wentworth, though there is no real mystery in it, though I did keep expecting one to emerge.

Rather lovely

A lovely gentle story, reminiscent of a a Patricia Wentworth novel, but without the mystery element. Julia is sometimes a little silly, but then aren’t we all at times. Definitely a nice listen, especially if you don’t want anything alarming or modern.
