Publisher's summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of A Vintage Summer, written by Cathy Bramley and read by Colleen Prendergast.

A sparkling summer story that's full of surprises!

London has not been kind to Lottie Allbright. Realising it’s time to cut and run, she packs up and moves back home - but finds her family in disarray. In need of a new place to stay, Lottie takes up the offer of a live-in job managing a local vineyard. There’s a lot to learn - she didn’t even know grapes could grow so far north!

Butterworth Wines in the rolling Derbyshire hills has always been run on love and passion, but a tragic death has left everyone at a loss. Widowed Betsy is trying to keep the place afloat but is harbouring a debilitating secret. Meanwhile her handsome but interfering grandson, Jensen, is trying to convince her to sell up and move into a home.

Lottie’s determined to save Butterworth Wines, but with all this and an unpredictable English summer to deal with, it’ll be a challenge.

And that’s before she discovers something that will turn her summer - and her world - upside down....

Delightful summer read!

Another beautifully read story by Colleen Prendergast, who never fails to deliver contrasting voices, tones and accents so you know which character speaks instantly. Well written story by Cathy Bramley with humour, excitement, a little sorrow but much happiness, perfect for a summer holiday.
I sincerely hope there is a sequel to this story, can’t wait to find out how the winery progresses!

Amazing book

This book was fantastic from start to end, the characters are so believable and you cannot help liking them all (except Harvey 😀) I didn’t want the story to end I wanted to continue to find out the goings on at Butterworth wines. Loved the fact the was an epilogue to tie everything together. Absolutely loved this book.

poorly written, poorly read

I bought for a nice sunny afternoon read but the dreadful characters and narration made me so annoyed within 10 minutes I had to send it back. Not relaxing at all.

Good story

Enjoyed this, my first one from Cathy, I will try some more. But not happy to listen to Colleen Pendergast particularly. If she can raise the end of her sentences rather than the repetitive downward inflection that meant I could not hear the ends of her sentences when in the car, maybe she will be better. Slight Brummie accent on all voices, but the story was enjoyable.

Jenson was a woos

The story itself showed promise but the weak characters let it down. Lotti was too perfect. Jenson was a woos, and his character seemed like an afterthought to make it a romance. The story plot about Buttersworth was interesting and I learned a lot about winemaking. Narrator did a good job, but Jenson voice was a bit feminine. Sorry.

An easy listen

Great narration!
Story was pleasant, and I looked forward to listening to it when I jumped in the car. lovely setting and the main character was likeable. very 'fairy-land', balck and white, but what I expected. Enjoyable, and plus... I learned a lot about wine!

good listen

Another good book by this author. I always enjoy her books. Wonderful narration as well. Though I have noticed that in other books Colleen narrates that she sounded more Irish! Regardless I always enjoy the combination of this author and narrator.

A pleasant story

Quietly pleasant, a very light romance that bubbles along with just enough to keep you going to the end.
