About this audiobook
The Spanish House is a mixture of designs, Georgian, Gothic and Moorish, as if whoever started it had simply got bored. It has long been known as an architectural folly to locals, and is now nearly derelict to boot. When its reclusive owner dies intestate, the Spanish House is left to his city-dwelling niece. For Isabel, recently widowed, the house is a potential lifeline - the only hope she has of providing for her two children without having to sell her most treasured possession. But for neighbour Matt McCarthy, the house is revenge - on the family who ruined his father. For his wife it's the key to the perfect family life, while a struggling property developer sees in it a whole new future. As desires clash and intertwine, lives and loves are demolished - and the Spanish House becomes a true folly indeed...

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5an enjoyable unpredictable read. Nothing magnificent but gripping and entertaining
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have always loved jo jo Moyes books but this one surpasses them all ,absolutely brilliant ,just a bit upset at the ending ,wanted the two main characters to end up together ..
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Unlikeable characters and I wish I didn’t finish this book because I could have used the time to listen to something else
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The story of a house written by someone who doesn't seem to know much about architecture. Lots of rabbit killing though.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5My first real disappointment with author Moyes. I considered the writing both overly depressing and overly dramatic. I have so few novels that I can say I just don't care through out the read. Enjoy the author but this book barely received a 1/2 star.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nothing special but a pleasant diversion. Easy reading romance with a frustratingly disconnected professional violinist left broke by her philandering spouse who died suddenly. A great uncle left them a house that his neighbors thought they’d get, setting up competition and bad feelings. Several half-explored plot bits detract from the story but Moyes has fans who will enjoy this novel.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Joyo Moyes knows how to put a lot of twists and turns into a plot. London-based Isabel Delancey, who has devoted her life to her violin and the Symphonia she plays in, has left the raising of her children to her husband and the nanny. When his sudden death reveals he left more debt than assets, she and her two children are forced to move to rural England and live in a decrepit house she inherited. And into a hornet’s nest she moves. Caretakers for the old man living their until his death assumed they would inherit it. Matt McCarthy had dreamed of the day he could remodel it for his family. He offers to make renovations, but in reality, he’s trying to get Isabel to give up and return to London. Both her son and her daughter have grown to love living “rough” without even finished bathroom. When Isobel wises up to what is happening, its too late to save the house. I enjoyed this book with some reservations about the ending. It seemed to me like there was a publishing deadline and the bits and pieces needed to be tied together.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The 2008 novel Night Music by Jojo Moyes, the bestselling author of Me Before You and two-time winner of the RNA Novel of the Year award. Isabel Delancey has always taken her gifted life for granted. But when her husband dies suddenly, leaving her with a mountain of debt, she and her two children are forced to abandon their home and move to a crumbling pile in the country. With the house falling down around them, and the last of her savings fast disappearing, Isabel turns to her neighbours, not knowing that her mere presence there has stirred up long-standing obsessions. As she fights to make her house a home, passions and lives collide. Isabel will discover an instinct for survival she never knew she had - and that a heart can play a new song ...Quelle: amazon.de
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5A wall thrower for me. Liked her other books but couldn't get into this one. I don't mind darkness, but the unrelenting gloom of the first half finished it for me.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Marie Claire listed this as a perfect summer read. I disagree. In my mind a perfect summer read is basic chic lit - something you don't have to think too much about and doesn't cause strong emotions. This book is deeper and a bit darker than that. It deals with death, grief, infidelity, and madness. I did enjoy this book and it's variety of characters. I felt the author explored the emotions surrounding these issues quite well, in spite of the fact that it appears in her opinion most people are unfaithful to their spouses.
