Night Music

By: Jojo Moyes

Narrated by: Clare Corbett

The Spanish House is a mixture of designs, Georgian, Gothic and Moorish, as if whoever started it had simply got bored. It has long been known as an architectural folly to locals, and is now nearly derelict to boot.

When its reclusive owner dies intestate, the Spanish House is left to his city-dwelling niece. For Isabel, recently widowed, the house is a potential lifeline - the only hope she has of providing for her two children without having to sell her most treasured possession.

But for neighbour Matt McCarthy, the house is revenge - on the family who ruined his father. For his wife it's the key to the perfect family life, while a struggling property developer sees in it a whole new future. As desires clash and intertwine, lives and loves are demolished - and the Spanish House becomes a true folly indeed...

Loved the story and the characters, but...

Why do the author and publishers feel such a need to have profanity to create realism? An audible book doesn’t let you skip over it, you are forced to hear the crude language. I believe you can emit emotion and poor character traits with less offensive words. Give it a try Jojo.

hard to get into.

I loved all of jojos books but this one. this story was all over the place and just not entertaining at all.

romantic novel with a twist.

really enjoyed this English novel. some of the words using were very odd indeed. x

Grumpy men, strong women, widows, undying love.

Basic Jojo theme in many, not great, but my first/favorite was 'Me Before You' so...

Holds your interest

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. I found it to be a nice story, an easy listen/read. It kept my interest.

What about Clare Corbett’s performance did you like?

Nice tone, easy to listen to and let you associate with the characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not this one however, I was eager to get to each chapter.

Any additional comments?

This was my first book by this author, I would read another. Not too sappy, showed strength in the characters without making them into heroes.
