For Mattie Willit, caught in a thunderstorm running away from her bullying stepfather, rescue comes in the form of Jacob Kemble, a widowed farmer living with his two young children. She is escaping from an enforced marriage; he, struggling with the memory of a loveless one. As Jacob nurses Mattie back to health, the two come know and love each other. Meanwhile, wealthy and elderly Miss Emily Newington needs their help to save her from her greedy cousin who is plotting to take her house. Together they must all battle the odds, and Mattie’s stepfather, to try and find a happy ending.

An interesting start and interesting second half.

The latter part of the book was the most interesting with some good characters and twists. I'm sure it's incredibly difficult to narrate the feel, tone, setting, and characters of a story, so I applaud this narration that was very well done with a couple of caveats. Some of the voices felt a little forced to me. I also felt Jacob's voice was sometimes misinterpreted. For example, for such a kind, loving man, his tone could have been more instructive to his son, rather than coming across as snappish. And I would have loved to see more snippets of spark here and there for Mattie. Those are minor things in an overall good work, so I will definitely be looking for the next in the series.

Love historical romance

What made the experience of listening to Cherry Tree Lane the most enjoyable?

Set in Wiltshire in 1910, the story tells how Mattie and her sisters make up their minds to escape before it is too late. There is little time to plan, and not much money, but the younger girls have a boyfriend who is willing to help them vanish. Mattie, fighting a heavy cold, opts to go alone and, when her money runs out, sets off to walk to Bristol. Within hours, she is near death in a rainstorm, and though a small boy returning home from school finds her and brings his father, Mattie’s life hangs in the balance for many days.

What does Nicolette McKenzie bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

A beautiful voice with great expression

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
