About this listen

Lily and Laurence had it all: the money, the car, a beautiful home in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Then Laurence loses his job, and everything disappears. With nowhere to turn, Lily and Laurence are forced to take their two young children and move to a flea-ridden council house on a notoriously rough estate. As they try to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives, Lily constantly dreams of returning to her old luxurious life. Will her dream come true, or will she learn that money doesn't always buy happiness?

Great book for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Easy listen, good narration, nice story if somewhat frustrating. Surely this couldn’t actually happen. Locked out with no access to your personal items etc!

The narrative did not fit in with the characters, having read this book I was expecting the tone to be different. I was distracted by the narrator rather than lost in the book.

Excellent book, wrong Narrator

I've not enough a book as much for a really long time. There are true to life events and feelings which warm the soul and some which are tinted with too much positivity and the slight stereotyping of some characters. The authors perogative of this doesn't bother me though as there is enough true to life writing to keep it plausible and enjoyable and humorous.

The idea behind it though is a strong message and true to life. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and plot through extremely good narration. I would really enjoy revisiting them later on to catch up with them.

I have thought about the issues in this book and the characters and the issues raised.Well worth a read.

An extremely good book.
