Five young Ayrtons all grew up at Amberwell, playing in the gardens and preparing themselves to venture out into the world. To each of these children, Amberwell meant something different, but common to all of them was the idea that Amberwell was more than just where they lived - it was part of them.

Amberwell drove one of its children into a reckless marriage and healed another of his wounds...and there was one child who stayed at home and gave up her life to keep things running smoothly.

I’ve listened to this book and it’s sequel Summerhills many times. The narrator is perfect. If you haven’t listened to this author’s books before this is an excellent one to start with.
Highly recommended!

Lesley Mackie's gentle voice brings the authentic feel of Scotland to this first book in a set by D. E. Stevenson. The book is a delight to listen to, making one need to get the next one, Summerhills, as soon as possible. Also, inspiring a strong desire to travel to Scotland and try to find Amberwell!

Amberwell is my favorite of D.E. Stevenson's novels. I have read it over and over and I'm thrilled to be able to listen now, too.
Please, please, Audible, offer us more of this author's books! I would absolutely love to see Miss Buncle's Book or Celia's House here, among others.

A gem

I read this book years ago and didn't remember much about it. It gets off to a rather slow start, but you find yourself caught up in the Ayrton family's doings...you want to hug the children and slap some other folks, but you are definitely engaged.

Much of the first part of this book seems trivial, but keep on going, as it sets the stage for marvelous growth in most all the characters, through the struggles they face. I just love the second half of the book! The reading by Lesley is absolutely amazing!

One of my very favorite books!

I liked it. Didn't love love love it. I really liked her Mrs. Buncle series, however. This was a very pleasant and happy slice of upper crust (but not aristocratic) English country life during WWII. If you enjoy both of these styles you will like it. Not unhappy I read it or anything. Was pretty good.

Satisfying family country drama.

I love the works of DE Stevenson. In my opinion, this is one of her best, which means it is very good indeed. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series. If you’re a fan, I think you’ll love it just as much as I did. If you’re not a fan, this would be a good place to start.
