About this listen
Jilly Cooper returns with love, high living, intrigue and a missing painting.
No picture ever came more beautiful than Raphael's Pandora. Discovered by a dashing young lieutenant, Raymond Kelvedon, in a Normandy chateau in 1944, she had cast her spell over his family - all artists and dealers - for 50 years. Hanging in a turret of their lovely Cotswold house, Pandora witnessed Raymond's tempestuous wife, Galena, both entertaining a string of lovers and giving birth to her four children: Jupiter, Alizarin, Jonathan and superbrat Sienna. Then an exquisite stranger rolls up, claiming to be a long-lost daughter of the family, setting the three Belvedon brothers at each other's throats. Accompanying her is her fatally glamorous boyfriend, whose very different agenda includes an unhealthy interest in the Raphael.
During a fireworks party, the painting is stolen. The hunt to retrieve it takes the listener on a thrilling journey to Vienna, Geneva, Paris, New York and London. After a nail-biting court case and a record-smashing Old Masters sale at Sotheby's, passionate love triumphs, and Pandora is restored to her rightful home.

Enjoyable
Really enjoyed this story. Fabulous ending, great characters even if sometimes it felt like too many to remember.

One of my favourite Jilly Cooper stories.
Great characters and good fun. Plenty of highs and lows and more highs. Enjoyed it as much as Riders and Mount.

A delicious dive into an old friend!
Well, it's Jilly isn't it, so if you've read the Rutshire books in order you'll know what to expect from this, the seventh in the series: vivid descriptions of characters getting into, or landing in and then getting (mostly satisfactorily) out of, a variety of situations of their own and others' making. A convoluted as this? Of course, but that's part of the joy!

Superb!
Another fab book by Jilly Cooper! What an enjoyable listen. Brilliant narration and storyline. Authors books often aren’t as good the further you get into a series but that is not the case with Jilly Cooper- a superb listen

You live with the characters
I love the way you get to know the characters and invest time with them. You just don’t want the book to end . I read all the books when they first came out and enjoyed them then and perhaps now I don’t need the explicit sex scenes read out ( especially if I’m listening to it in the garden) what would the neighbours say. I am just glad I have another 2 books to listen to in the series even though you can listen or read them independently it’s nice to see the characters grow .
