An excellent feel good story

I really enjoyed this gentle, feel good story. Yes it was predictable, but the little twists and turns through life's challenges were well portrayed through each of the main characters.
I liked the fact that none of the characters was perfect, but most came to recognise and deal with their faults.
Lucy Dillon portrayed Lord Bob in such a colourful way, he was so endearingly cheeky, that he got under one's skin. He definitely knew who was Lord of the Manor.
Lucy dealt with the aspects of grief that can be quite debilitating in a sensitive manner.
Worth a read .
I enjoyed Lucy Price-Lewis' excellent, clear, sensitive narration. She got the accents right, flowing from one to the next effortlessly, portraying the characters well, with just a couple of minor slips. The editing of the narration has been very well done. Many other books would benefit from such good editing. The story/ narration flowed seamlessly.

Loved It

Had everything I love in a story. The narrator also has a fabulous accent and way of reading; she is very easy to listen to.
This was my second Lucy Dillon book...now i must google to see if she has written any more.

A new favourite author!

Feel good interesting story

A lovely easy to listen to audiobook. The characters are brought to life well by Lucy Dillon and it is nice to have cameo appearances from characters in her other books. Dillon is an expert in writing emotionality well, particularly in adult relationships. Her love of dogs is a key feature in this and all her books
Brilliant narration brings it all to life very well. Highly recommend this audiobook

Beautiful story of friendship, trust & identity

Loved the simple but engaging story line. How the story raises questions about lifestyle choices, relationships, love and trust. But most of all the role dogs play in our worlds & how Lucy Dillon weaves this into her stories. The ending was a little flat but it was still the perfect audio book story if you don't want anything heavy.
