Promise Me

The irresistible, feelgood bestseller from the author of THE WEDDING OF THE YEAR

By: Jill Mansell

Narrated by: Katherine Press

All you have to do is say yes . . . The heart-warming, funny and unputdownable new audiobook from the bestselling Jill Mansell

One minute Lou is happily employed, with a perfect flat. The next, her home and job have gone. Suddenly she has to start over.

The last thing Lou wants is to move to a tiny Cotswolds village. She certainly doesn't intend to work for curmudgeonly eighty-year-old Edgar Allsopp. But Edgar is about to make her the kind of promise nobody could ignore. In return, she secretly vows to help him fall in love with life again.

Foxwell is also home to Remy, whose charm and charisma are proving hard to ignore. But Lou hasn't recovered from the last time she fell for a charmer. She needs a distraction - and luckily one's about to turn up.

Secrets never stay hidden for long in Foxwell, nor are promises always kept. And no one could guess what lies ahead...

Really Enjoyed It!

I really enjoyed this book.
Spoiler Alert (kind of):
At times, I feared I’d end-up hating it
because I don’t like unhappy endings, but alas, my fears were set aside.
Good job on narration too.

Overall Great Audio listening book

I would recommend this audiobook on long road trips where every turn keeps you wanting to hear more.

Loved this book

Enjoyed listening to this book Jill has an amazing way of developing characters and by the end they become your friends. I only wish she would put epilogues in her books so we could enjoy a year or two years later to see where the characters are in their relationships.

Nice Story ; Excellent Narration

It took several chapters before I became hooked. But then it was fun read without violence, gratuitous sex, or over used foul language. A rarity in modern novels, I find. I will gladly choose books written by Jill Mansell and/or read by Katherine Press in the future.

The Mean Old Man

As she writes Ms Mansell seems to get a tighter focus even as she maintains a plenitude of plots and characters. All the stories seem fantastic without becoming contrived. It’s not high demand reading but it’s not dumb. The narrator might have pronounced one word wrong, I can’t remember.

Edgar the curmudgeon may have been one of my favorite characters in all of her books. I was walking around laughing out loud.

Google Captain Oates before you start and if you don’t already know who he is.
