Jojo Moyes
The tiny, well-ordered seaside village of Merham holds little to interest the adventurous - except for Arcadia, the breathtaking art deco house perched above the shoreline. Attracted to this magical place, young Lottie Swift surrenders freely to its temptations and ultimately must face the hard consequences of her actions.
Years later, another young woman comes to Merham. A designer hired to make over the now-empty Arcadia, Daisy Parsons seeks a new beginning, as Lottie once did. Fleeing a broken relationship, Daisy finds refuge at Arcadia, and something more - a love she thought she would never know again.

Would you try another book from Jojo Moyes and/or Michelle Ford?
I love Jojo Moyes, but found it very difficult to follow the many characters that come and go without introduction when I couldn't keep track of them in the first place. Still, I have loved two other Moyes books and will eventually order all of themWhat was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
The last chapter got better.Was Windfallen worth the listening time?
Not my favoriteJust Okay

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
no....boring book. Well written, but really I could see everything coming a mile away. The end was very unsatisfying and well, it just didn't seem to be a story worth telling.Any additional comments?
If you've read recent Jojo Moyes (You before me-AWESOME! or One Plus One), this is NOT like that. Its very well written, but it just doesn't have the solid storyline the others have.Not what I expected from a Jojo Moyes book

Any additional comments?
I knew before starting this book that other reviewers had said it was not Jojo Moyes' best. I love her stories and the people in them and said, how bad could it be. It wasn't bad. In fact, it was a great story and very, very well narrated. I just found myself not liking ANYONE. Not one single character, as well-written as they were, were likable. Not even Lottie. In fact, the only character I cared about was a minor one, Frankie. Everyone else was long suffering and made the people they loved miserable, or at the very least, not happy. I wanted to root for someone. Anyone. Instead I found myself saying on too many occasions, 'Why would you do that!?'Just okay

On the other hand, I found it easy to become emotionally invested in the story of the characters lives. I’m sure part of it is because I was also a single parent to an infant. I will not ignore Jojo Moyes talent. The ability she has to bring her characters to life should not be overlooked. Michelle Ford’s ability to tell a story also deserves a mention. I think you ladies did a wonderful job with Windfallen.

Once the story got on I enjoyed the love story. When the story was getting good it ends and rolls forward many years and the characters changed. One had to really struggle to figure out who these new characters were. The original love story wasn’t as developed as I would have liked. The story eventually ended by closing out all those new characters’ relationships.
I was disappointed to find out Lottie’s relationship with Guy wasn’t developed more. How did he feel seeing her? Where did he go? How did he feel? What happened to the baby? Why did he stay with his wife and not come find Lottie?
What can one do. What’s written is written.
