About this listen
Romance, friendship, joy and the possibility of happy endings: the heartwarming new novel by number one best seller Katie Fforde.
Lizzie has just arrived in London, determined to make the best of her new life.
Her mother may be keen that she should have a nice wedding in the country to a suitable man chosen by her, and Lizzie may be going to cookery school to help her become a good wife...but she definitely wants to have some fun first.
It's 1963, and London is beginning to swing as Lizzie cuts her hair, buys a new dress with a fashionably short hemline and moves in with two of her best friends, one of whom lives in a grand but run-down house in Belgravia that has plenty of room for a lodger.
Soon Lizzie's life is so exciting that she has forgotten all about her mother's marriage plans for her.
All she can think about is that the young man she is falling in love with appears to be engaged to someone else....

"Top-drawer romantic escapism." (Daily Mail)
Such great characters and I loved the story and period it was set in 1964

Gone was the humorous, easy to follow, modern day plot line and its place a vintage, period piece set in the 1960's with a confusing plot line which seemed to lose it's way almost from the first. It took me a long time to get into, although I did get into it towards the middle and there were some of the usual creative themes in there somewhere. There were glimpses of the usual magic but her usual lovely writing style was largely gone. I couldn't relate to the main characters or even find anything to like about them, which is sort of necessary to enjoy a book of this sort. While I'll concede that this was well written, I'm sorry to say this is not what I was hoping for and if you want a good listen, try Katie Fforde's earlier books as they're the best!
Such a disappointment
