About this listen
Jane Bancroft has returned to Lovett, Tasmania after 20 years away, minus one ex-husband but plus one outraged teenage daughter. Life in the city – life in general – hasn’t quite panned out as she would have liked. With her mother unwell, now seems as good a time as any to come back to where it all began, and perhaps even start a new life here in the heart of Tasmanian apple country. But the legacy of Jane's wild apple youth has not been forgotten by small-town Lovett and her homecoming is haunted by past tragedy.
Jane’s not the only child of Lovett returning home. Drew Pascoe, one-time scrawny kid working the pub kitchens, now handsome celebrity chef, is also back in town and looking to re-establish his roots. With the blessing of the locals and in an effort to reinvigorate tourism to Lovett, Drew has restored the old homestead Valleyfield, and plans to televise its opening as Tasmania’s hottest new dining destination. He knows a key ingredient to success is a unique homegrown flavour: Jane's mother Thea, crowned Apple Queen of Lovett and the cantankerous guardian of the legendary recipe for apple snow. But the charm offensive he’s launched on Thea is not the only reason he's keen to spend quite so much time with Jane.
Between her mother's bitterness, her daughter's escapades and the struggle to rebuild a her life, helping Lovett’s new golden boy with his grand plans are not Jane's priority. But Drew's enchanting persistence is making Jane realise that mending old wounds and a homegrown romance may in fact be the only way to start a fresh new chapter.

The thing about Minnie Darke…
The thing about Minnie Darke is that I never want her books to end. This one is just as lovely as the others. Yes, a romance, but with so much more depth than that. Engrossing! Loved the earthy voice of the narrator too, it was perfect for this story.

Slow, depressing, bad narrator
Tough to get through. The content is about a sad sac heroine and her sad sac family whose patriarch was dealt an unfair blow to his livilhood that the family never recovered from. In walks prince charming, but the heroine has bern beat down so much she can't appreciate anything, possibly have hope or goodness.
I really think that the book wpuld have benefitted from a better/ different narrator. This one's voice drives the dark and depressing tone even in the potentially uplifting parts.
I just couldn't get through it.
