Publisher's summary

Bloomsbury presents The Great Godden by Meg Rosoff, read by Andrew Scott.

Everyone talks about falling in love like it’s the most miraculous, life-changing thing in the world. Something happens, they say, and you know.

That’s what happened when I met Kit Godden.

I looked into his eyes and I knew.

Only everyone else knew, too. Everyone else felt exactly the same way.

This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer - the summer when everything changes. In a holiday house by the sea, our watchful narrator sees everything, including many things they shouldn’t, as their brother and sisters, parents and older cousins fill hot days with wine and games and planning a wedding.

Enter two brothers - irresistible, charming, languidly sexy Kit and surly, silent Hugo. Suddenly there’s a serpent in this paradise - and the consequences will be devastating.

From Meg Rosoff, best-selling author of the iconic novel How I Live Now, comes a lyrical and quintessential coming-of-age tale - a summer audiobook that’s as heady, timeless and irresistible as Bonjour Tristesse and The Greengage Summer.

Calming and soothing

Lately this has been one of my favorite audiobooks. Andrew Scott did an amazing job giving vojces to all the characters in the book, at the same time respecting the pace and atmosphere in the nareative.
I listened this audiobook several times already for the calming and soothing effect of Andrew’s voice, everytime discovering new details in the story and little things I did not pay attention the previous times.
I love this audiobook, and strongly recommend it.
