About this listen

As Anthony and Rachel Brinkley welcome their third daughter-in-law to the family, they don’t quite realize the profound shift that is about to take place. For different reasons, the Brinkleys' two previous daughters-in-law hadn't been able to resists Rachel's maternal control and Anthony's gentle charm and had settled into their husbands' family without rocking the boat. But Charlotte - very young, very beautiful, and spoiled - has no intention of falling into step with the Brinkleys and wants to establish her own household.

Soon Rachel's sons begin to think of their own houses as home and of their mother's house as simply the place where their parents live - a necessary and inevitable shift of loyalties that threatens Rachel's sense of herself, breaks Anthony's heart, and causes unexpected consequences in all the marriages. Then a crisis brings these changes to the surface, and everyone has to learn what family love means all over again.

This is a moderately interesting story which grapples with the intricacies of family relationships- Joanna Trollope's forte. The narrator is excellent, but the way she voices the male characters- in a deep, awkward tone- is distracting. If only narrators would realize they don't have to adopt different voices for the characters! Some readers can pull it off successfully, and when they do it's wonderful. But all too commonly these attempts fail miserably.

The Brilliant performance of Roslyn Landor kept me listening to this Hallmark TV channel story. Roslyn Landor 's reading was the only reason I listened to this insignificant story.
