Publisher's summary

Bloomsbury presents The Great Godden by Meg Rosoff, read by Andrew Scott.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA BOOK AWARD 2020
SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKS ARE MY BAG READER AWARDS 2021

'Brilliant and impactful' – Pandora Sykes

This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer – the summer when everything changes. In a holiday house by the sea, in a big, messy family, one teenager watches as brothers and sisters, parents and older cousins fill hot days with wine and games and planning a wedding.

Enter the Goddens – irresistible, charming, languidly sexy Kit and surly, silent Hugo. Suddenly there’s a serpent in this paradise – and the consequences will be devastating.

From bestselling, award-winning author Meg Rosoff comes a lyrical and quintessential coming-of-age tale – a summer book that’s as heady, timeless and irresistible as Bonjour Tristesse and I Capture the Castle but as sharp and fresh as Normal People.

Featuring a bonus essay from Meg Rosoff on her experiences of summer, this is THE unmissable book of the summer.
From the author of How I Live Now, one of TIME magazine's 100 Best YA Books of All Time.

Calming and soothing

Lately this has been one of my favorite audiobooks. Andrew Scott did an amazing job giving vojces to all the characters in the book, at the same time respecting the pace and atmosphere in the nareative.
I listened this audiobook several times already for the calming and soothing effect of Andrew’s voice, everytime discovering new details in the story and little things I did not pay attention the previous times.
I love this audiobook, and strongly recommend it.
