About this listen

Cornwall is only a page away in this gorgeous, heartwarming novel – a wonderful read for the summer holidays!

She arrived in the village on the spring tide and hoped to be at the heart of it, knowing its secrets and weathering its storms.

It was to be a new beginning…

It’s springtime in the Cornish village of Pendruggan and as the community comes together to say a fond farewell to parish vicar, Simon, and his wife, Penny, a newcomer causes quite a stir…

Reverand Angela Whitehorn came to Cornwall to make a difference. With her husband, Robert, by her side, she sets about making changes – but it seems not everyone is happy for her to shake things up in the small parish, and soon Angela starts to receive anonymous poison pen letters.

Angela has always been one to fight back, and she has already brought a fresh wind into the village, supporting her female parishioners through good times and bad. But as the letters get increasingly more personal, Angela learns that the secrets are closer to home.

With faith and friends by your side, even the most unlikely of new beginnings is possible.

I have never listened to a Fern Britton book before and wasn’t sure what to expect (I have to confess that I only bought it because it was on sale) but it was BRILLIANT! Great story, great characters and a brilliant narrator. I got completely lost in it and didn’t want it to end. I’ll definitely be spending my next credit on another of her books. Well done Fern!

Absolutely loved it!
