About this listen

A heartwarming, uplifting village romance for fans of Holly Martin, Tilly Tennant and Cathy Bramley.

Buying a thatched cottage in the country may not be the usual cure for a broken heart. But after Clara Maxwell finds out her boyfriend and best friend have been sneaking around behind her back, packing her bags and leaving everything in London behind feels like it's the only way forward. When Henry Garnett, her (rather handsome) new contractor, turns up with his little daughter Pansy and a van shaped like a cottage in tow, she isn't sure whether to laugh or cry. What on earth has she gotten herself into? Still, there is something strangely lovable about the people in the little village of Merryknowe, from Rachel Brown, the quiet, lonely girl who bakes magical confections for the tearooms, to Tassie McIver, a little old lady with a lot of wisdom and a penchant for reading tea leaves. With all the heartbreak of the year behind her, could Acorn Cottage be the fresh start Clara so desperately wants?

Like another reviewer, I was reluctant to finish this book it was so enjoyable. But instead, I finished it in one day! I couldn’t help myself. I was enthralled from beginning to end. What a joyful, deep and meaningful story! I highly recommend this novel.

Wonder and poetic! A quiet masterpiece in its genre!

Story was excellently presented. Had to finish it, so I didn’t worry about what was going to happen!
 The narrator was excellent with all women’s voices and accents, but was not good with the male characters. I found it hard to listen to her interpretation of Henry’s voice. He sounded more like a country bumpkin than the strong male character he was supposed to portray.

Wonderful story. Narration of male characters not so good.
