About this listen

 Maura Carmody's off on the trip of a lifetime. A talented chef, she's travelling around Ireland for a month to promote Australian food and wine. Maura's expecting a straight forward business trip. But what she gets is a whirlwind of mishaps, misunderstandings, rivals and revelations, and Dominic Hanrahan, who's giving her plenty of food for thought. Set in Ireland and Australia, A Taste For It is a warm, funny novel about following your heart and pursuing your dreams.©2001 Monica McInerney (P)2002 Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd.

Ok but not the best

It was all right it wasn’t the best story I’ve heard but it was her first I think there’s definitely improvement from another one that I’ve heard but it’s a sweet story

Sample this before buying!

The narration was not good. The accents were awful. Dominic’s mish mosh accent and the pronunciation of Americerrrr (America) just cringe. The Australian and Irish accents genuinely awful. I couldn’t finish it. I love Monica‘s books and I’m sure reading it myself I would have thoroughly enjoyed. But as an audio book, it wasn’t for me.

Disappointing

I really struggled to keep going and couldn't finish. So disappointing when I have truly enjoyed the earthy realism of Monica McInerny's other works. The story line was thin. The main character was a superficial bore.
Melissa Eccleston's Irish and American accents were awful. Give me Ulli Birve any day.
Sorry, this one seemed like a rush job to me.
