Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
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.

Well done
I loved it and pleased that Margo was able to shine her own light, being that she always seemed to be in the shadows of here brothers

Dreadful narration
This review will not be very helpful with regard to the story as the narration was so utterly awful I didn’t get beyond chapter 4. What I did listen to would have been amusing if properly read but it was stripped of its humour by flat, expressionless narrator. Returned book and will read myself instead.
