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.

Always loved this story spoilt by the stupid accents , Rory's voice totally destroyed any idea of him being a hunk and let's not go there with Finns voice 😞

I read this book years ago and thought it was great. Unfortunately I ordered this on Audible recently along with Imogen another book in the series but had I have listened to one first I wouldn't have ordered the other as the narrator is just dreadful

Once again a dreadful narrator

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.

It was written back in 70s I think. I found Emily a bit of a sop. The characters weren’t very likeable but was it was easy to listen to though the accents were hilarious. But sometimes it’s just good to have a story that you don’t have to invest too much concentration on

Terrible narration it was so bad it was funny
