Publisher's Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of A Cornish Summer, written by Catherine Alliott and read by Gemma Whelan.

Flora's been in love with her husband for 20 years.

The trouble is, he's been married to someone else for the past 15.

Now she's been invited to spend the summer in the shady lanes and sandy coves of Cornwall. It should be blissful.

There's just one small snag: she'll be staying with her former mother-in-law, Belinda.

And Flora discovers she's not the only one invited when her ex-husband shows up out of the blue, complete with his new wife. So now there are two small snags.

Can Flora spend the summer playing happy families with the woman who stole her husband's heart, and the mother-in-law who might have had a hand in it?

Or will stumbling on the family secret change her mind about them all?

Well I wasn’t expecting that

The characters draw you in and before you know it, you can’t stop. I didn’t see it coming.

not one of Catherine's best for me

I usually love Catherine Alliot's books but this one just didn't grab me unfortunately...but not that there is anything wrong with it...just not as laugh out loud funny and warm like previous novels.

A mature romance

This is a delightful romance, with mature characters and beautifully narrated. It is a refreshing change from younger people making irritating and silly choices. Not usually my genre but I thoroughly enjoyed it

Don’t do it !

Got to chapter 8
It is the most convoluted and boring book.
Never read this writer, and expect I will not be searching other titles
