Summary

Merham is a well-ordered 50s seaside town - the kind of town where everyone knows their place (and those who don't are promptly put in it).

Lottie Swift is an evacuee who has grown up with the respectable Holden family and loves Merham. The Holden's daughter Celia, however, chafes against the constraints on the town and longs to escape....

Slow burner but stick with it!!!

It took me a while to get into the characters set in the past but once I did I loved them!! She's a fantastic story teller I will miss the characters now it's over. Brilliant book can't wait for the next one!!

Boring

I usually enjoy the books by Jojo Moyes but sadly I found this one rather boring. Not my style at all.

Worth a listen

Loved this story, took a little to keep track of the characters but you felt yourself drawn in, which made you not want to stop listening.

Not what I was expecting

Whilst listening to the first part of the book I actually went back into Audible to check I had downloaded the right book. However once into it the story took shape and I did enjoy it, the characters became evident and I was able to follow the thread.

Not up to usual standard

Took me til part 2 to get into the book, then it was sadly predictable.

Another fab story by John Moyes

It took a while to get into this one but then I couldn't stop listening! Parallel tales, one with the hoped for ending, the other unexpected! Pure escapism ideal for listening to on a dreary weekend.

A beautiful Campion book

Again Jojo Moyes has brought to life another amazing book.
Love, romance and a dash of fruitiness

Disappointing characters

Sadly, I found this story quite unlikable. Normally this author is one of my favourites, however this time I had a hard job listening to the end of the book as none of the characters instilled a desire in me to care about what happened to them. Another reviewer mentioned it as a romantic story, I found it passionless, frustrating and altogether rather boring.
