A lovely easy listen. It was just what I needed to take me away from the crazy reality that we live in 😊

I loved the story

Santa montefiore is one of my favourite authors and this book did not disappoint. I liked how all the loose ends were tied up in the end. Although I guessed a few of the connections the majority were a real surprise to me.

the two stories alongside one another gives depth, the characters very believable.
the final clarity is saved till the end.
rather an emotional book.
would appeal to someone who enjoys reading something without swear words in it.

couldn't stop listening, yet grieved when it ended

I enjoyed this story, but less so than The Affair by the same author. I liked how it all came together in the end, leading to a satisfying climax.

Good story

The author is a great story teller but this title seemed too slow. Took me about half the book to get interested in the story and characters. Tge reader did very well!

Ok listen

Another great story from Santa Montefiore. I love her books and this one is no exception. She paints wonderful pictures and summons up the most comforting locations. Even though the outcome was, I think, fairly predictable... it didn’t detract from a most enjoyable listen.

Lovely story, warm and enjoyable characters
