I love Alan Titchmarsh and have read many of his books but this was so disappointing. How are we supposed to sympathise with the main character when he is such a wanker? Going from one lady to the next and suddenly he’s in love? Unrealistic and stupid
little better than a pulp fiction of the romance variety
Not bad. Easy read between hard books.
Fair to middlin.Quite interesting.
Slow going. Shallow in places.
Carried on until page 87 and then thought, what's the point in going on with this story so gave up. I got this book off free-cycle so the previous owners obviously weren't that attached to it either!!It wasn't appalling, but there was just nothing making me want to read it - not the characters, not the plot, not anything!

As I now have to drive to work and no longer have the pleasure of reading on the train I have decided to give audio books a go and this book by Alan Titchmarsh is my second one. Unfortunately I have to agree with some other reviewers as the writing although not awful was not that good either and the story was weak.

A very gentle book about a man who returns to Britain from Australia to sort out his recently deceased father's estate. While it covers some difficult subjects, such as Altzheimers disease, a potential suicide, banning of hunting and conservation, it does so as part of a quiet and slow plot. While the writing isn't wonderful, it is not awful either, and I enjoyed listening to Titchmarsh read his book.
