Listened at every opportunity. Lovely and intriguing story, more raunchy than her usual Aga Saga .Samuel West is always comfortable to hear and I enjoyed his narration.

The best Mary Wesley I have read

Would you listen to Part of the Furniture again? Why?

I thought I'd read all Mary Welsey's novels, but seemed to have missed this one. Although her atmospheric scene setting and quirky characters are all there as you would expect, I found the storyline extremely far-fetched and often found myself thinking "No, surely not...!" It was extremely well read by Samuel West and the whole book was a pleasant distraction, but certainly not one of her better novels in my view.

Would you recommend Part of the Furniture to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes

A well written tale. My favourite of Mary Wesley's books; the main character Juno is beautifully penned. The audible narration is excellent.

Excellent book ... unusual and interesting

A very good story well presented by Samuel West which can be dipped in and out of without losing the overall plot.
