About this listen

The top 10 Sunday Times best seller.

Winner of the RNA Romantic Comedy Novel of the Year award.

When does time out become the time of your life?

Jodie Jackson is all at sea, in every sense.

On a ferry bound for the Isle of Wight, she's leaving her London life, her career and her husband behind. She'd like a chance to turn back the clocks, but she'll settle for some peace and quiet on her brother Bill's beautifully renovated houseboat, Sunny Days.

But from the moment Jodie steps aboard her new home, it's clear she'll struggle to keep herself to herself. If it isn't Marilyn, who cleans for Bill and is under strict instructions to look after Jodie, then it's Ned, the noisy sculptor on the next-door houseboat. Ned's wood carving is hard on the ears, but it's made up for by the fact that he's rather easy on the eyes.

Bustled out of the boat by Marilyn and encouraged to explore with Ned, Jodie soon delights in her newfound freedom. But out of mind isn't out of sight, and when her old life comes knocking, Jodie is forced to face reality. Will she answer the call or choose a life filled with sunny days and sea breezes?

An absolute must-listen from the queen of fun-filled and life-affirming fiction, Sunny Days and Sea Breezes will make your heart sing.

Not boring

Just couldn’t get into it at all, storyline was a bit predictable. I had to slow the narration down to 0.9 at times.

Good Ad for the Isle of Wight!

Quite a good story but not one of Carole Matthews’ best, a bit too predictable and the narration a bit too hearty. Quite enjoyed it. Made me keen to see the Isle of Wight!
