Richard Beresford has recently returned from the WW-I trenches. He feels he can't go back to his old life in the Foreign Office. Instead, he sells all his possessions (except his books), and sets off on a tramp through the countryside. On the very first day he meets a mysterious girl with enchanting grey eyes, sitting on a gate, in the rain. They inadvertently get separated before he finds out her name, but he is determined to find her again.

An interesting book

(5 Sterne)

First of all, Anna does a very good job of reading... yes, she mispronounces a few words here and there, but it does not subtract from the story at all. Secondly, this book gets more interesting, the further you get into it. Hang in there and listen to the first chapter or two and you will be glad you did!

light and airy storytelling

(5 Sterne)

Extremely well-read by Ms. Simon. The story is light and airy, but I felt perhaps lacking a bit in substance and somewhat drawn out. Still, an interesting glimpse into a hugely transitional era in history, the formation of the lost generation, and a brand of intelligent humor that is pretty much extinct nowadays.

Duncalino

(3,5 Sterne)

A companion of his other book, "Patrica Brent, Spinster." Characters from that book are casually dropped in this story, part of the same crowd. The good news is the audio for the last chapter is fixed. I enjoyed this book but it can't compare to the outstanding Patricia Brent, Spinster. But, I still recommend it

(3 Sterne)

While a slower pace than the other Jenkins novels I’ve read, and a bit darker (several brief passages about contemplation of suicide), it was still full of fun, unique characters, sweet romance, and a humorous glimpse into what it was like to be a poor relative to British nobility. Written in 1919.(The reader was wonderful.)

Enjoyable

(5 Sterne)

Nice story and very good narration by Anna Simon. The narrator does miss pronounce a few words but English is not her native language. Me Simon has a wonderful voice any I’ll ever listening to more of her work.

Kept me interested

(5 Sterne)

Fun characters, and would make a entertaining movie like A Room with a View. The main character, was obviously overwhelmed with the war, but I see that love gave him purpose to live again.

Unusual Romance Post WW1

(4 Sterne)

The story drags a bit about midway, but picks up again at the end. Well read, and a good choice for a novel not requiring a lot of attention or thought.

perfect

(5 Sterne)

the building of the story is typically long, but is so witty! "Bow" is pronounced like a dog's bow-wow, not like the bow on a wrapped gift!!
