On moving to Brighton, Georgie finds throwing herself into the city's delights fun and exciting, but before she knows it, she's sliding into all kinds of trouble. Charlotte is in the city for a new start, hoping to keep her head down. A terrible revelation sent Rosa running from London, but could her passion for food lead her to more interesting places? As the three tenants find each other, it's as if a whole new chapter of their lives has begun.

Quite a good and enjoyable story line told with amusing dialect voices for the characters. Nothing heart stopping happens,however the story is interesting, the dialogue good and the reading excellent and overall very much worth the listen .

Lucy Diamond books are always a nice, easy listen with varied, well developed characters and plot twists. The House of New Beginnings is no different and as the title suggests, it follows a group of individuals, each struggling on their various paths and looking for a new start.
The only thing that let this book down for me was the narration. When speaking in her own accent the narrator was very pleasant to listen to, however her regional accents made me cringe, particularly her Yorkshire accents - she made them all sound simple. And the male voices all had a hint of innuendo in them even when having the most banal, innocent conversations.
Narration aside, I would recommend.

Another cosy listen from Lucy Diamond

Surprising

I wasn't convinced at the start, only because I bought it as part of the 2 for 1 sale and the other book was such a let down.
But I was very surprised a couple of hours into the book finding the characters funny and interesting.
I found myself smiling at times and then cringing at other times.
I throughly enjoyed it!
It's lighthearted, funny and I loved the different British accents. I could picture each character based on the accents.
A lovely story!
