À propos de cet audio

'Nobody writes about family tensions better than Joanna Trollope' Good Housekeeping

An Unsuitable Match, by number one bestselling author Joanna Trollope, is an a uplifting story of love, family and second chances.

‘Why on earth, after all you’ve been through, all you’ve survived, all you’ve achieved, why do you want to get married?’

Rose Woodrowe has just got engaged to Tyler Masson – a wonderful, sensitive man who is head-over-heels in love with her. The only problem? This isn’t the first time for either of them, and their five grown-up children have strong opinions on the matter . . .

Like Rose’s daughter, Laura, who remembers her parents’ painful divorce and doesn’t want to see her mother hurt again. Or the twins, Emmy and Nat, who simply don’t trust the man their mother has fallen for. Then there’s Tyler’s children: Seth, too busy with his San Francisco sourdough bakery to get to know his father’s new partner; and Mallory, the aspiring actress, who is still wrestling with the issues of her own childhood.

Who to listen to? Who to please? Rose and Tyler are determined to get it right this time, but in trying to make everyone happy, can they ever be happy themselves?

I love Joanna Trollope but this book was a bust for me. Her usual slice-of-life descriptions and writing skill are on display but it’s the first time I have felt no sympathy for any character. I generally find her realistic, flawed and all too human characters accurate and charming. Not so this time. The adult children of the protagonist (although the novel has multiple points of view as is usual for Trollope) are truly awful, juvenile and condescending at once, living in homes bought in part by their fathers money but waxing superior over their mother’s finances and those of her lover, and acting like jealous four year olds around a new baby. If my children ever treated me like this I would be shocked and appalled - instead Rosie mostly worries and stews and acts mildly bitchy. Rosie isn’t particularly likeable and is often short and dismissive with the aforementioned lover, who is almost unbearable in his smarmy devotion. I cannot understand why he is so taken with her. Other than being something of a twat about how in love he is, his fatal flaw is he is not financially secure. The story purports to touch on the topics of aging and love and family. Huh. The focus on money is the pervasive theme and it disgusted me. I only listened to the end because I thought there would be a satisfying resolution that would allow me to recover the charmed and happy feeling I usually have after a Trollope novel. No. Do not recommend.

The most disappointing Trollope novel to date *mild spoilers*
