About this listen

"You've gone all fat and complacent because you've got your man, haven't you?"

Polly Penhalligan is outraged at the suggestion that since getting married to Nick and settling into their beautiful manor farmhouse in Cornwall, she has let herself go. But watching a lot of telly and gorging on biscuits, not getting dressed until lunchtime, and waiting for pregnancy to strike are not the signs of someone living an active and fulfilled life. So Polly does something rash.

She allows her home to be used as a location for a TV advert. Having a glamorous film crew around will certainly put a bomb under the idyllic, rural life. Only perhaps, she should have consulted Nick first.

Because before the cameras have even started to roll - and complete chaos descends on the farm - Polly's marriage has been turned upside down. This time she really has gone too far....

Wanted To Love It But…

I love Catherine Alliot and wanted to love this (and I’m only half way through) but the editing is absolutely appalling and the narrator is not the best.

The story is pleasant but significantly overshadowed by the bumbled edits. Repeat sentences and some strange background noise was very odd-putting.

Slow, repetitive with the worst editing I every had in an audio book. Polly I just wanted to shake her

Do women like this really exist?

The main female character disturbed me from the start…weak, vain, shallow, transparent- and then her long suffering husband completed the cliche - it was a poor attempt at a Bridget Jones rip off. I only made it half way through the first of the two parts and couldn’t bring myself to listen any further- tried to return it to audible but was not permitted. The book just made me sad.
