 Chewing gum for the brain August 25, 2008
A. J. Brew (Spain)
I'm afraid I thought this book was really bad, I got annoyed with the stupid air headed Flora whose character is all over the place, she's brave enough to leave London for a new life, yet too scared to sing in a choir without boring us to tears with her repeated "I can't!!", then suddenly manages to find the balls to be an auctioneer and through it all has no clue who she is in love with until Mummy darling comes along to tell her. There is no liking her, in fact I wanted to give her a good slap through most of it.
The other characters are equally annoying, Charles is not likeable at all, Annabelle is a posh country girl but allows a makeover almost immediately -HOW unlikely is that? Katie should write for an older age group, too many "awfully, terribly, dreadfully, golly, do sit down"s to appeal, and this kind of weak air headed girl is not appealing. Nor does she have enough literary depth to achieve the "Jane Austen" effect which she obviously aspires to, even mentioning Mr. Darcy.
The ending is hurried and silly, unsatisfying and unrealistic, even given these loose characters.
The conversations are wooden and underdeveloped, the plots absolutely transparent and the only reason I didn't throw it overboard is that I had nothing else to read.
 Gotta love Flora's Lot!! October 11, 2007

This was the first book that I read of Katie Fforde's and I loved it! It may not be the most complicated or action packed love story but it was heart warming and easy to form an attachment to.
I've since read a few other of Katie's books and I find them all as addictive as Flora's Lot.
I recommend this book to any ol' softy!
 Dull ..... June 21, 2007

I felt that this book was so lame that this is the first review I have ever written.
It is slow paced so much so that I could flick 2/3 pages and still keep up with what was going on.
Sorry if I give away the plot but isnt it a bit odd that its her cousin - even if it is 15th removed !!!
I wouldnt recommend this to anyone. This is the first book Ive read of hers and I dont think I'll be reading another.

Although I absolutely love Katie Fforde's books I was slightly upset when, having ordered this book thinking that it was new - I discovered that I already owned a copy - the title being "Bidding for Love". It would have been nice if there had been a note somewhere mentioning the fact.
