wonderful story, terrib;e nnrration

A lovely gentle romance ruined by a terrible narrator. Her voice interpretations were awful. I have read the book many times and was very disappointed in the narration

Good story

The narrator wasn’t the best but I managed to enjoy the story anyway.
It was good to have the story tie in with the characters at Muirith and Tassynoe (no idea how these places are spelled.)
Overall it was a pleasant story.

good book.. good narrator

I love books by de Stevenson. this book is good. not as good as the "miss Buncle" series (which is my favorite).. regardless, this is an enjoyable easy listen

Delightful and pleasant

What a pleasure it was to listen to the fine narration by Patience Tomlinson. I’ve read more than a dozen DE Stevenson books so far, and Bel Lamington is now a favorite. I enjoyed the surprise of meeting up with several of the Drumberley characters again. What fun. I ordered the sequel, Fletchers End, as soon as I finished Bel Lamington.

Delightful!

I just love the sweet stories by DE Stevenson ❤️ What better way to get away from the everyday.
