Next of Kin Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I loved this book. Good character development. "

" Love Joanna Trollope "

" I used to love JT but this it has to be said is not one of her best - try her earlier books for a good read. This isnt offensively bad butits not good either "

" The clean up was too tidy at the end and the charactars were not that likable nor did their personalities and actions stay consistent. "

" deep character in a simple story of unexpectation, changes and decisions. Good to read while on holiday. "

" English farm family drama with complex relationships, grief and starting over themes. "

" I wasn't sure I was going to like this book at first, but as it happens, I did. The characters were interesting and unfamiliar to me. And I ended up liking them more than I thought. "

" Didn't make it through. It's probably a good book, but I was sick of literary and really craving a good fantasy. "

" Good Joanna Trollope style with all the emotional intricacies. This time about an extended farming family & the effects of a family death. "

" An exploration of grief, set in the real world of farm work, not the pretty milkmaid version. Odd, I thought of the writer as pretty much determined by the Aga-Saga venue, but this book is clear, surprising, and emotionally grounded. "

" Great story that you will not want to put down. "

" Desperate for a book in Pohara - picked this up second hand in the camp site shop. Better than I expected. "

" I usually like Joanna Trollope, but this one was a bit formulaic and I found most of the characters unsympathetic. I'd skip this one and read The Choir, The Rector's Wife, and The Spanish Lover instead. "

" This was a well written story about hard life on a farm. It was about perserverance and family ties. I enjoyed the read, but I doubt I will read anymore of her books because I get the feeling they are all generally the same in theme and outcome. "

" I thought this book was a good story with an interesting look at human nature and how people deal with tragedy. Although at times I felt the plot was a bit of a stretch, I did enjoy it at the end and I was glad I read it. "

" just couldn't get into it "
