I defy anyone to not enjoy this book. Eva Ibbotson is a wonderful writer and though I don't usually read romance novels, I read this because Marian Keyes recommended it. the audio, though still enjoyable is ruined by the decision of the narrator to use Austrian accents. I don't do this when I read so why would I want to hear it when read to me?

great book but didn't need the Austrian accents.
