About this listen

“I need your help getting Chynalls in order so I can stay in my own house. Come down right away!”

After the death of her mother, Rebecca is sorting through her empty flat. Starting with the letters piling up on the doormat, she finds an envelope postmarked from Cornwall. In it is a letter that will change her life forever. A desperate plea from her mother’s elderly cousin, Olivia, to help save her beloved home.

Rebecca arrives at Chynalls to find the house crumbling into the ground and Olivia stuck in hospital with no hope of being discharged until her home is made habitable.

Though slightly daunted, Rebecca sets to work. But as she peels back the layers of paint, plaster and grime, she uncovers secrets buried for more than seventy years. Secrets from a time when Olivia was young, the Second World War was raging, and danger and romance lurked round every corner …

One of the most implausible stories I’ve listened to this year😟 a multitude of gaps in the story, which the author tried to explain away in the last chapter; too many coincidences throughout the plot, and some unnecessary, cringy sex scenes. The only redeeming feature were the two excellent narrators. I read several positive reviews, and I’m just shaking my head ….

Too many coincidences
