D. E. Stevenson
In name and by birth, Celia was a Dunne. She had inherited the beautiful old family home by the Rydd Water – but was she bound to live her life by the principles of her predecessors? Was there some hidden restraint that compelled her to heed the past? Celia’s house is a moving and poignant story of the struggle between old and young: the older generation anxious to preserve the values they have helped create while their children are determined at all costs to make lives of their own.

D.E Stevenson writes lovely stories. Her books take you back to post WWII England with the manners and gentiality not found in today world. This book is like high tea in a rose garden. Treat yourself to a warm and life affirming story.What was one of the most memorable moments of Celia's House?

I purchased and downloaded and listened to this story as quickly as possible, and now I will have to listen again and hope that Lesley Mackie is invited to do the "partner" title to this one, Listening Valley.

Where does Celia's House rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I have really come to enjoy the writings of D E Stevenson. She has very good story development. The books are interesting but still calm. It reminds me of the Miss Reed books. This story takes place in the early 1900's over in England. An older woman rewrites her will at the last minute. She wants her huge house to be lived in by a family that will appreciate it. This book is the story of that family's life. When the family moves in, they have 2 young children and by the end of the book all the children are grown and married and the mother has died. This is really a story about family. This is a book that I would feel comfortable listening to with all the children, and I just may do it. I could easily an happily listen to this story again.A Middle Class Family living in a Mansion
