Summary
Flush, already immortalised in poetry, is vividly brought to life in this humorous, compassionate yet unsentimental portrayal of a dog's loves, fears, jealousies, and reconciliations. This is a triumph of imaginative, sympathetic and remarkably accessible writing.

Told from point of view of Barrett Browning's dog
Great story and beautifully read, but the maximum volume is very low, making it difficult to listen to without earphones in an environment with any noise

Delightful story
This was a lovely story, and very well read by Prunella Scales - found myself on the verge of tears in places.

Brilliant!
Beautifully-written and reflective, we hear the story of Flush, a cocker spaniel, as he begins his life in the countryside and moves to London to live with Elizabeth Barrett Browning, a poet. The book flowed nicely, with some wonderful observations on society at the time, as told through Flush's eyes, Barrett Browning's diaries and through clever comparison between human and dog society.
Narration by Prunella Scales was beautiful. Enjoyed every moment!

Abridged version not full book
This is an abridged version that leaves lots out. A shame as there isn't an unabridged version on Audible that I can find.

Voiceover skips entire parts of the book at a time
It's actually ridiculous how, I'm trying to hold the copy of the book while listening to the recording and every 2 minutes getting lost because the audio book skips paragraphs at a time. This isn't the original story, it's a shame that people pay to essentially not get the product they bought
