About this listen

 Charming, nostalgic and brimming with optimism – a sparkling story of friendship, community and staying true to yourself for fans of Lissa Evans and AJ Pearce.

1932: When gardener Robert Bardsley arrives at Anderby Hall, an Elizabethan manor house in the Gloucestershire countryside, it is home to ‘Greenfields’, a community of artists and idealists.

Robert has been employed to revive Anderby’s famous roses and restore the topiary garden, but he also soon befriends the other residents: from colourful neighbour Trudie, who makes a formidable cocktail and keeps her late-fiancé’s ashes on the mantelpiece, to composer Daniel, recovering from the horrors of the Great War. The only person he can’t win over is Anderby’s schoolteacher, Faye, who finds him . . . perfectly vexing.

But just as Robert starts to feel at home, the residents discover that the old orchard has been sold to a property developer who has plans for an estate of Tudorbethan bungalows. Can they find a way to keep their creative community alive or will the new housing development put an end to the spirit of Greenfields?

Praise for The Best of Intentions:

'Through her joyous cast of characters, Caroline Scott reminds us of the power of community and what can be achieved when very different people come together to work for the collective good. It's an ode to kindness, authenticity and optimism - just what we need at the moment!'
Caroline Bishop

'[A] warm and engaging story of community, friendship and resilience. I thoroughly enjoyed this gentle novel, a salutary tale of how we must adapt to in order to flourish and of how letting go of the past enables us to embrace the possibilities of the future, with a heartening message of love, hope and fellowship threaded through every page.'
Anita Frank
