About this listen

Timothy Gandy has kept his lifetime's ambition secret for 40 years. Now, suddenly (if tragically) released from the henpecked tedium of his ordinary existence, he is unexpectedly free to realize his dreams. He will embark on a grand tour of Europe, following in the footsteps of the aristocrats of the 18th century. He anticipates high art, culture and pleasant weather. He never expects to encounter new friendships - and possibly even love - along the way.

It seems that Mr Gandy has embarked on the journey of a lifetime....

I Didn't Want it to End

I love this kind of book. It's gentle and philosophical. The characters are so well drawn that they feel like old friends. One of the reviewers on Amazon wrote that it was "A little unbelievable but a pleasant read," but most of the elements could easily have been drawn from my own life, so I think it's perfectly believable. I'd give this an extra half star if I could, as my only tiny reservation was with the epilogue, and the fact that I was enjoying it so much I was sorry it wasn't longer.

An amazingly human story

I didn’t know Alan Titchmarsh wrote fiction. This was a delightful novel. And I’ve read negative feedback on his narration but I have to disagree I loved listening to the sound of his voice telling his own story. I look forward to hearing more of his books.
