About this listen
'Beautifully written and both heartbreaking and heartwarming' Jessica Redland
WINNER OF THE RNA CONTEMPORARY ROMANTIC NOVEL AWARD 2023
Cottage Two, Bracken Ridge Farm sits at the end of a pitted track, with the glorious Yorkshire moors stretching behind it.**
Just a simple two up, two down, the cottage holds the promise of a new start for two very different women, but it is also full of secrets.
Fifty years ago, newly-wed Stella is relishing making the little cottage a happy home. But for all the lovingly handmade curtains, and the hot dinners ready on the table for her husband, Stella’s dreams of married life jar painfully with the truth.
Fifty years later, the cottage is a new beginning for Tamzin. Determined to get away from her previous life, she makes the move to the wild and vast Yorkshire countryside.
When Tamzin finds a sepia photo of a woman, Stella, standing in the cottage’s garden, there’s a sadness in her eyes that Tamzin recognises. As the cottage reveals more of its secrets, Tamzin is desperate to find out whether Stella got her happy ending. And as she gradually makes new friends, and starts to win over her mysterious neighbour Euan, Tamzin dares to dream about her own happy ending too…
Escape the rat race with this heart-warming, page-turning new novel from Jane Lovering. Perfect for fans of Julie Houston, Beth O’Leary and Kate Forster

As an animal lover I really can’t agree with the need for people to have a wild animal as a pet.
Foxes live in the wild not in enclosures.
I am sure they can become great companions. However I don’t want to read a book that has this as part of the story. I’m not going to return as that is not fair on the author. After all I wouldn’t buy a packet of biscuits and send them back because I didn’t like them. It’s o my audible that make profits.

The more difficult theme of the book is domestic violence/abuse, which is always upsetting. Lovering understands how abusers manipulate situations and how the abused are forced into victimhood which spills over into other parts of their lives. She shows how hard it is to escape abusers and the damaging psychological after effects of abusive relationships.
Performance loses a star, not because of the reader, who is very good, but because of some poor editing. It's a pity about that, but it's certainly not bad enough to stop you listening to a good book.
Please note that the earlier reviewer who gave up reading because of the "pet" fox should have stuck with it for longer. In the course of the story the fox's circumstances are also explained, and carry their own message.
Good storytelling about a difficult subject
