With a foreword from Gerald Durrell

In 1947, returning to the UK with two young children to support, Margaret Durrell starts a boarding house in Bournemouth. But any hopes of respectability are dashed as the tenants reveal themselves to be a host of eccentrics: from a painter of nudes to a pair of glamorous young nurses whose late-night shifts combined with an ever-revolving roster of gentleman callers leading to a neighbourhood rumour that Margo is running a brothel. Margo's own two sons, Gerry and Nicholas, prove to be every bit as mischievous as their famous Uncle Gerald - and he himself returns periodically with weird and wonderful animals, from marmosets to monkeys, that are quite unsuitable for life in a Bournemouth garden.

It was fun to hear about the sister of Gerald Durrell, one painted as a silly and impractical girl. Turning out to be a kind hearted woman and mother.

Entertaining

I truly enjoyed this book. Could listen to many more of Margo’s adventures. I think the audiobook is the way to experience this book.

Fantastic narrator

Rather boring narrative with an over abundance of adverbs in every sentence. The narrator was not very convincing with her accents.

Not as good as I’d hoped!
