Story
Adam Gabriel has always been a child of nature. Raised on his parents' remote Yorkshire farm, where life is measured by the rhythms of the flock, the turn of the seasons and the yearly arrival of an itinerant local monk, he seems destined for a quietly contented life. As Adam grows, Luke and Bethany see flickers of something extraordinary in their son - a healing touch that goes beyond his love for the land. But Adam's gentleness has always made him an outsider, and a powerful gift can also be a heavy burden.

Timothy Gandy has kept his lifetime's ambition secret for 40 years. Now, suddenly (if tragically) released from the henpecked tedium of his ordinary existence, he is unexpectedly free to realize his dreams.

Summary
Rupert Lavery is a well-known conservationist. When he dies, his son, Kit, returns from 10 years in Australia to inherit a nature reserve in the heart of the British countryside. Kit finds the nature reserve and the two determined women who staff it are more trouble than they are worth.
Elizabeth Punch is single, middle-aged, and on a mission to save wildlife from inconsiderate mankind. Jess Wetherby has dyed orange hair, a nose stud, and aspirations to be a hunt saboteur.
But when he meets Jinty O'hare- the beautiful niece of the local Master of Foxhounds - he soon discovers that there is more charm to the Devonshire coast than he first realised.

WEAK story.
I think it is a weak story, but it
could be a good one compared
to the ones I read.
although it could be he's voice.
at first I thought he had a good
voice for this story. but as it went on, I thought he sounded
morbid.So I am not much help.

Excellent as always
Another excellent audiobook from Alan Titchmarsh. I have listened to several and look forward to listening to all his other books. All his characters are different and I feel empathy with every one. Every story is original and well rounded. I especially love the way he ties up all loose ends at the end of each story. Long may he continue to write.
