I found the story moving and adding thoughtful commentry on todays culture including class, race ,younger generations feeling of entitlement. Kept me reading

The characters and the narrator!

No and only because the stories don't appeal to me but I will be sure to keep watching for performances to come.

I didn't have an extreme reaction but it did make me laugh and smile with a feeling of warmth and understanding of all of the characters.

While it may seem a simple story it's actually just a joy to listen to and shouldn't be casually passed over. It really was a perfect listen!

Humor, imperfect people doing the best they can and then a bit more. Just really surprised me how much I enjoyed this book

I have recommended this book to all my listening friends. The story is wonderful and the narrator is the best. You will not be disappointed. I keep going back to this book looking for other books that people who enjoyed this book liked too! it is very memorable

The Major of course! He was everything a brit gent should be.

Peter has an ability to impart such emotion into his voices to make the story very compelling. His voice perfectly conveyed the dry wit of the Major and still managed the honest but little voice of George. I look forward to more of Peter's work.

My husband and I listened to this recently on a road trip. We laughed, gritted our teeth and cheered along with the characters in the story

One of my favorites.

That it had everything; humor, drama and emotion.

The little boy.. Thomas

Major Pettigrew was my most memorable character because of his insight and his unwavering values.

don't know the print version

The lovely descriptions, the Major's attitude and character, the ending

The Major, of course, then Jasmine comes in second

no no. I loved hearing it in bits and pieces

Wonderful if you've lived in England can enjoy the fussiness, small village mentality, upper classes, the loud rich American..

Thanks to this book, my laundry is finished, my house is clean, I didn't leave the house for a whole day. Wonderful!

This was my favorite audio book last year, so good I listened to it twice. The story is full of unexpected turns, the characters are complex and interesting and the language is witty and compelling. I'm a real Anglophile and really appreciated the British humor.

Helen Simonson fills her novel with interesting, realistic characters that you can't help but care about, even the ones that makes you want to shake reason into their silly, selfish heads. Her description of a small English village and all its inhabitants is at times funny, at times frustrating and always believable (unfortunately).

I love the fact that the main characters aren't young or in their prime, it's very refreshing and makes you reflect about life not being over just because you've passed the age of seventy. Also, the love story (or rather, love stories) is rather heart-breaking at times.

I love this book. Go read it.
