About this listen

Kindle bestseller The Oyster Catcher is Jo Thomas's first irresistibly feel-good novel, set on the coast of Ireland. 'A world you long to live in with characters you love' Katie Fforde

Dooleybridge, County Galway: the last place Fiona Clutterbuck expects to end up, alone, on her wedding night.

But after the words 'I do' have barely left her mouth, that's exactly where she is - with only her sequinned shoes and a crashed camper van for company.

One thing is certain: Fi can't go back. So when the opportunity arises to work for brooding local oyster farmer, Sean Thornton, she jumps at the chance. Now Fi must navigate suspicious locals, jealous rivals and an unpredictable boss if she's to find a new life, and love, on the Irish coast. And nothing - not even a chronic fear of water - is going to hold her back.

Join Fi as she learns the rules of the ocean - and picks up a few pearls of Irish wisdom along the way...


Glowing praise for The Oyster Catcher:

'A warm and witty debut' Carole Matthews

'A perfect pearl of a story. I loved it' Milly Johnson

'A heart-warming tale full of Celtic charm... What more could you wish for?' Ali McNamara

Thoroughly enjoyable

After listening to a great many psychological murder mystery stories this has come as a great find. It’s a feel good story and I love all the characters and their stories. Will look for more from Jo Thomas, particularly if read by Katy Sobey.

Good story.

Good story, unfortunately I didn't enjoy the narration, mainly because the narrator seemed very flat and monotone, the portrayal of the main characters were particularly dull.
