    About this audiobook

    The perfect escapist read, for all fans of Cathy Bramley and Jenny Colgan. A Year at the Star and Sixpence is Holly Hepburn's four Star and Sixpence novellas collected together as a novel for the first time. 
    When sisters Nessie and Sam inherit a little pub in a beautiful country village they jump at the chance to escape their messy lives and start afresh. But when they arrive at the Star and Sixpence, it's not quite what they imagined - it's pretty much derelict, ruined by debts, and it's going to be a huge job to get it up and running again. But they are determined to make the best of this new life and they set about making the pub the heart of the village once again. Their first year at the Star and Sixpence won't be easy, though nothing worth doing ever is.
    But when the sisters' past comes back to haunt them, they start to think that the fresh start they needed is very far away indeed…
    Curl up with A Year at the Star and Sixpence - the perfect novel to welcome Spring.

      Three Poems

      War is coming but my neighbors can’t believe it. I ring their doorbells and tell them: maybe not this May, but next June at the latest. They stare straight past me, at the maze of lawns, the sprinklers, a kid on a bike hurling the Globe onto porches.

      I really enjoyed this collection of novellas, nice, light story with interesting characters. Narration by Karen Cass was great as always! I’ve always thought she really does the best voices and accents, and now I know she can do a great welsh one too!

      This was a refreshing read for me. I usually read murder and suspense novels and whodunnits. The story flowed and I found myself literally making extra time to read. That’s a win for me! Loved it!!!!!!!
    • 5/5
      This series is heart warming and champions all that is good within us
    • 2/5
      What an annoying character Nessie is! This book was my least favourite so far from Hepburn. Other than that, it's an okay summer read for those in need of some escapism.
    • 5/5
      The characters, the dialog and the pub. Perfect summer read.
    • 5/5
      I read a book to this series out of order! Be sure to read in order, it makes more sense. Spoilers galore! I enjoy this author very much! The voice actor is amazing! Thanks HH!
