About this listen
In the second novel in the Pop Larkin series, the Larkin family descends upon Brittany in France. Like fish out of water, they find that things don't quite turn out their way: The weather is less than ideal, the food is awful, and the hotel is in a bad state of repair. But things slowly improve as Pop manages to sweet-talk Mlle Dupont, Angela Snow, and her sister, Iris; and Charley and Mariette celebrate their first wedding anniversary. A Breath of French Air is a delightful book full of nostalgia, fun, and frivolity.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

A fun sequel
If, like me, you enjoyed the Darling Buds of May then this a really enjoyable sequel with the further adventures of Pop, Ma and the rest of the Larkin brood.
The most enjoyable part is Philip Franks easy, fluent recital of the story which really draws you in.

Definitely a Breath of Fresh Air
The second of H.E. Bates' Larkin novels lives right up to the glorious first. In a word, 'perfick' - as is Philip Franks' pitch perfect reading!

it's Charlie doing all the voices!
it's absolutely perfect! he seems better at doing the voices than the actual actors in the show! you'll be whisked away by what is in my opinion the best book in the Pop Larkin chronicles!

Ok
Ok. Didn’t enjoy as much as the first one. All Pop Larkins dalliances got a bit tedious for me.
