Summary

If Emily hadn't gone to Annie Richmond's party, she would never have met the impossibly irresistible Rory Balniel - never have married him and been carried off to the wild Scottish island of Irasa to live in his ancestral home. She'd never have met the wild and mysterious Marina, a wraith from Rory's past, nor her brother, the disagreeable Finn Maclean. And she would never have been caught stealing roses in a see-through nightie....

dreadful intonation reading this story. Words mispronounced and sentences read with the wrong manner

Awful Narration.

Dreadful narration. Slow and boring. I read a lot of Jilly Cooper before losing my eyesight, so I was looking forward to this. The narrator completely ruined it.

Would not recommend this book. Pauses between chapters far too long. Story line poor. If this is the future of Jilly cooper I shall not be listening ,!,

What a shame

Story is classic Jilly and just about stands the test of time.
I remember reading this first time round and loving it but the audible narration is horrendous! The narrator putting full stops where there shouldn’t be any. “ come hither” became “come Heather” Celtic one of the many mispronunciations, and as for the strange accents, was it never listened to before publication?
So glad it was included in audible membership and I hadn’t paid for it!

This is without doubt the worst narration of an audio book I’ve experienced. Flat monotone. Totally ignores punctuation, including full stops, which completely alters the meaning of sentences sometimes nonsensically. (particularly galling given Jilly Coopers witty style) Had the same feel as a primary age child reading out something in assembly. Shame as it’s a great favourite for many Jilly fans.
