At twenty-two, free-spirited Amber Farrow has no concerns beyond finishing her final year of nursing on exchange in Australia. What she hasn't counted upon is crossing paths with Griffin Lee. Amber and Griffin's two hearts are clearly made for each other. But where Griffin is inclined to put down roots, Amber has always been a citizen of the world, treading lightly upon the earth, never staying too long in one place. Before long, Amber's inability to be still leaves Griffin behind.

At thirty, Amber has built a life of constant exploration and humanitarian nursing—yet she's haunted by the memory of Griffin. After narrowly surviving a near-fatal accident, she reckons with her lingering passion and no small measure of regret. Following her heart could mean tying herself down, or it could be her chance to rewrite her life's journey.

In the joyful spirit of David Nicholls' One Day and Emily Henry's You and Me on Vacation, a romantic story from Minnie Darke about the roads we choose, the chances we miss, and the beautiful, unexpected ways our paths can bring us back together again.

Editorial Review

Utterly charming
When traveling nurse Amber sees truck headlights careening toward her car, it’s not her life that flashes before her eyes, but her regrets. Her biggest regret? Griffin Lee. Or rather, time and a life not spent with Griffin, a gifted painter she met (and briefly dated) in uni. From there, The Yellow Wood jumps timelines and points of view as the listener journeys alongside Griffin and Amber on their respective paths until they diverge again ... and again ... in a second (or is it third?) chance love story. Remy Hii and Aisha Aidara deliver beautiful, complementary performances that propel the narrative forward, creating a tension and a chemistry that’s rare in an alternating-point-of-view novel. This was my first listen by Minnie Darke, and I can’t wait to explore the rest of her catalog. — Katie O., Audible Editor

Sweet story around the themes of the one that got away and second and third chances. Not a lot of action but great to listen to while gardening, etc.

I really loved this book. It was a sweet live story without erotic details. One of the m as in characters is an artist and since that is something I regret not doing, I fully understand Amers regrets.

I love the characters. I love how Amber travels the world and tries to be happy, but she can’t forget Griffin, anymore than he can forget her, Till they meet again. 

How love can last, even when you try to ignore it!

It makes one stop and think about choices. What road one would like to travel but did not for one reason or another. A delightful ending as well

Insightful

This is not a typical light romance which, enjoyable as they can be, also tend to stick to a predictable plot and outcome. It’s a thoughtful and well-written story, about the complexities of modern life and the almost endless choices we make that lead us to where we are at this moment. The scene of the anticipated car accident was intense, and the idea that instead of seeing our lives pass before our eyes, we see our regrets— gave me a serious pause to think about what those regrets would be for me. This is an honest romance with some dark moments and some golden moments, and the author has captured real life in a beautiful style.

A thoughtful modern love story
