About this listen

When Heather Toulson returns to her parents’ cottage in the English countryside, she uncovers long-hidden secrets about her family history and stumbles onto the truth about a 60-year-old murder.

Libby, a free spirit who can’t be tamed by her parents, finds solace with her neighbor Oliver, the son of Lord Croft of Ladenbrooke Manor. Libby finds herself pregnant and alone, when her father kicks her out and Oliver mysteriously drowns in a nearby river. Though theories spread across the English countryside, no one is ever held responsible for Oliver’s death.

Sixty years later, Heather Toulson, returning to her family’s cottage in the shadows of Ladenbrooke Manor, is filled with mixed emotions. She’s mourning her father’s passing but can’t let go of the anger and resentment over their strained relationship. Adding to her confusion, Heather has an uneasy reunion with her first love, all while sorting through her family’s belongings left behind in the cottage.

What she uncovers will change everything she thought she knew about her family’s history.

Award-winning author Melanie Dobson seamlessly weaves the past and present together, fluidly unraveling the decades-old mystery and reveals how the characters are connected in shocking ways. Set in a charming world of thatched cottages, lush gardens, and lovely summer evenings, this romantic and historical mystery brings to light the secrets and heartaches that have divided a family for generations.

As usual, Dobson’s storytelling is a carefully woven work of word-art. For me, however, this one evokes too much grief.

Well Written but Traumatic

A time slip historical romance covering four generations in rural England pretty much sums up this book.

This will be the 39th rating of this book which I find surprising as it's a good listen. I enjoyed it and others will as well. It brought tears to my eyes........

a good one

Nancy Peterson did a wonderful job narrating this touching story with a clear voice. She definitely keeps my interest by reflecting the mood of the story. Her character voices are distinct by not distracting. Melanie Dobson has written a powerful and moving story with likable characters. I was given a copy of this audio book by the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Enjoyable!
