The Perfect Retreat

De: Kate Forster

Narrado por: Rachael Tidd

Leaving fame and fortune behind, it's the ultimate escape....

Can you live on love alone?

Willow Carruthers - British Oscar winner, style icon and mother of three - is facing a crisis: she’s broke, discovery of her partner’s infidelity has left her a single mother and, if the banks have their way, she’s about to be homeless.

Meanwhile, Kitty - nanny to Willow’s children - is desperate to keep her job and knows just the place they can retreat to: her crumbling ancestral home in the Bristol countryside, Middlemist House.

To both women in their hour of need, the idea of leaving LA seems brilliant in theory. That is, until Kitty’s brother, Merritt, returns home unannounced….

From London to LA, The Perfect Retreat is pure escapism - full of sex, scandal and intrigue.

Excellent execution

very well written and paced. Loved the character development and the focus on the people and relationships.

Unexpectedly lovely

Great book and escape. Highly recommend if you're looking for an intriguing yet light read

Very enjoyable!

I listen to a lot of audiobooks and this one is one of the best I have heard recently. The style was refreshing and I feel like the multiple point of views enhanced the story in a way I might not have experienced before. This one is definitely worth a credit!

Wonderful book

I really enjoyed this book with multiple layers and characters. I loved the sense of reality with broken and messy relationships and the consequence of the messy in the people around them.

A bit of everything

Romance, mystery, empowerment. I enjoyed the depth of each character without being overdone. The choices they made and the obstacles they overcame due to the perfect retreat.

Great listen!

Heartwarming and fun. Strong character development, along with sometimes roller coaster yet loving relationships. I enjoyed it very much!

Interesting

Hollywood star Willow Carruthers has been settled down with her husband for several years now but recently a scandal reveals he’s been dangling sausage around for more than just her kitty. with three kids, an upcoming divorce, no job and soon to be no home, Willow is fighting a losing battle. however her nanny, Kitty, will present a new idea to get Willow and her children back onto their feet. things take a turn when Kitty’s older brother, Merritt, arrives unannounced.

I was gonna write a lot about this but i’m kind of at a loss. it’s a really chaotic book and the story is good, i like how it worked out it was just really hard to follow at times but i suppose that tends to happen with a large cast of characters.

I don’t know what to say it was an okay book, i loved the depth of the characters and the humanity of them. the only issue was how it was formatted however that could be personal preference.

narration was phenomenal

A romantic, heartwarming and layered story of redemption, love and family.

I absolutely adore this book! It is so original and interesting. The multi-plot is well woven and the characters are likeable, complex and real. This is a wonderful story of personal redemption, finding love and the true meaning of family. With a bit of mystery, art and interior design thrown in for good measure. Highly highly recommend.

Complicated Until It’s Not

I very much liked the detailed descriptions of the landscape, gardens, and dwellings. Character development was spot on. Each character from adults to infants was imbued with specific traits distinguishing each character. As a reader, it was fun to get a glimpse of characters from The Perfect Location. Just a seamless glimpse :).

Forester has written another novel that kept me engaged from beginning to end.
