Publisher's summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of The House of Hope and Dreams by Trisha Ashley, read by Julia Franklin.

From the Sunday Times bestselling Trisha Ashley, this novel will more than satisfy romantic comedy fans. And it also contains recipes!

When Carey Revell unexpectedly becomes the heir to Mossby, his family’s ancestral home, it’s rather a mixed blessing. The house is large but rundown and comes with a pair of resentful relatives who can’t be asked to leave.
Still, newly dumped by his girlfriend and also from his job as a TV interior designer, Carey needs somewhere to lick his wounds. And Mossby would be perfect for a renovation show. He already knows someone who could restore the stained glass windows in the older part of the house…

Angel Arrowsmith has spent the last ten years happily working and living with her artist mentor and partner. But suddenly bereaved, she finds herself heartbroken, without a home or a livelihood. Life will never be the same again – until old friend Carey Revell comes to the rescue.

They move in to Mossby with high hopes. But the house has a secret at its heart: an old legend concerning one of the famous windows. Will all their dreams for happiness be shattered? Or can Carey and Angel find a way to make this house a home?

Heart-warming, witty and quirkily original, Trisha Ashley's THE HOUSE OF HOPES AND DREAMS will delight both old fans and new listeners alike.

Good Story But Narration Was A Strange Choice

The story was good. Problem with narrator. How old is the main character supposed to be? The narrator made her sound about 60 years old. Reminded me of Mrs. Claus reading a cozy Christmas story. Very distracting.

very interesting

I really loved the in depth character development. I liked the extra detail of the characters world... their interests and all that.

THE BEST!

I fell into the hard copy of this book first and honestly, didn’t want to come out when it was over.
But, I am a Southerner (USA) and thought I’d like to hear it read with the right accent. So glad I spent that credit!
Julia Franklin brings Trisha Ashley’s brilliant book to life. I enjoyed every minute and again, didn’t want to come out!

I wish I could visit!

I finished this book thinking that I wish I could visit Mosby and see how the renovations went! I've never read anything about the art of stained glass, so all of the details about that craft were incredibly fascinating. I loved the mystery threaded into this story, and the way the two time periods were told parallel to each other. I did not guess how those stories ended! Delightful! The characters were rich and interesting. I've missed them!
