Summary

The Survivors' Club: Six men and one woman, injured in the Napoleonic Wars, their friendships forged in steel and loyalty. But for one, her trials are not over.... Since witnessing the death of her husband during the wars, Imogen, Lady Barclay, has secluded herself in the confines of Hardford Hall, their home in Cornwall. The new owner has failed to take up his inheritance, and Imogen desperately hopes he will never come to disturb her fragile peace.

Percival Hayes, Earl of Hardford, has no interest in the wilds of Cornwall, but when he impulsively decides to pay a visit to his estate there, he is shocked to discover that it is not the ruined heap he had expected. He is equally shocked to find the beautiful widow of his predecessor's son living there. Soon Imogen awakens in Percy a passion he has never thought himself capable of feeling. But can he save her from her misery and reawaken her soul? And what will it mean for him if he succeeds?

An unexpected twist

Very good story extremely well narrated. My only complaint is the author's insistence on referring to one's soul. It's quite nauseating.

the best book of Mary Balogh

absolutely amazing book with stunning narration of Rosalyn Landor. I dare to say that this is the best book of M.Balogh I have been listening yet. I laughed, cried....both main characters were nicely built...simply amazing.

An interesting story.

The heroine is one of the survivors, so is still dealing with her pain and suffering.
The hero is a typically rich young man of the time. Baring a few hiccups, he has skated through life surrounded but friends and family.
His income and life is so good, that even on inheriting his title, he ignores it. Only on turning thirty, feel bored and disenchanted with what he has, he goes to check out what he has inherited.
There he meets the heroine, who finds him frivolous, she decides to have a break from her austere life. She can have an affair and then return to the life she has planned for herself.
The secondary characters are good, with more than one budding romance in the making.

The best so far

Mary Balogh is one of my favourite authors and her ability to tug at the heartstrings is beyond comparison. I have wondered throughout my listening to the Survivors series of novels what Imogen’s story was going to be, one lone woman in the middle of a war of men. We know from listening to the other books that she had witnessed awful things, including the torture and death of her husband by the French, but not until the end of this one do we learn her dreadful secret, and the last chapter had me reaching for a tissue more than once.

delightful read

as always Mary Balogh's characters are believable and likeable. Her storylines embrace the period in which they are based with great credibility.
