About this listen

The sparkling Christmas audiobook from the Sunday Times bestselling author Heidi Swain!

When Anna takes on the role of companion to the owner of Wynthorpe Hall, on the outskirts of Wynbridge, she has no idea that her life is set to change beyond all recognition.

A confirmed ‘bah humbug’ when it comes to Christmas, Anna is amazed to find herself quickly immersed in the eccentric household, and when youngest son Jamie unexpectedly arrives home it soon becomes obvious that her personal feelings are going all out to compromise her professional persona.

Jamie, struggling to come to terms with life back in the Fens, makes a pact with Anna – she has to teach him to fall back in love with Wynthorpe Hall, while he helps her fall back in love with Christmas. But will it all prove too much for Anna, or can the family of Wynthorpe Hall warm her heart once and for all...?

Join Anna for a festive journey festooned with sleigh rides and silver bells and help her discover her happy-ever-after.

Undemanding but enjoyable

Undemanding, story yet still enough twists and turns in the plot to keep my interest. A cheerful festive listen - a perfect background to making the mince pies or writing Christmas cards.

Easy listening

Lovely easy listen to story. Love the narrator. Story is very predictable but a very sweet storyline, made me want to be there. One of those books you start to actually picture it, the house, location and characters.

A wonderful Christmas story

I loved this story as soon as I started listening to it. It was read beautifully by Karen Cass and I really hope there will be a sequel to tell how the retreat will be a success. Thank you Heidi Swain - it was lovely .

lovely story

I love how all the stories interact and intertwine. and I love how it really doesn't matter to much which order you listen to them in.

I love how these books are read, and wish I didn't have to stop listening.

A Beautiful Magical Christmas story

Such a beautiful book to listen to and be transported to a world of, may be's, could be's and will be. Loved every second of the book. The narrator gave me a clear imaginary vision of events that took place.

Would like to think that Anna and Jamie will have their wedding in the spring. With a hint of just some annoying person putting a spoke in their plans for the barn being converted for the use of their charity.
