Summary
An uplifting novel from the bestselling author of The Lido.
Among the cobbled streets of the Somerset town of Frome, Lou is embarking on the start of something new. After the death of her beloved mother, she takes a deep breath into the unknown and is opening her own vintage clothes shop.
In upstate New York, Donna has just found out some news about her family which has called into question her whole upbringing. The only clue she has to unlock her past is a picture of a yellow dress, and the fact it is currently on display in a shop in England.
For Maggy, she is facing life as a 70-something divorcee and while she got the house, she's not sure what to fill it with now her family have moved out. The new vintage shop in town sparks memories of her past and reignites a passion she's been missing...
Together, can these three women find the answers they are searching for and unlock a second chance at a new life?
It's never too late to start again...

Easy read
A lighthearted book, I found it easy to listen to and felt it was well read. Well worth giving it a go.

Nice story but poor recording
This is a lovely story - but unfortunately let down by the narration. Maggie was particularly difficult to understand, I'm not sure if this was just the recording quality but I found myself having to turn the volume up high and really focus to be able to hear what she was saying. The Somerset accents aren't great either!

Great story let down by the narration
Maggie was so hard to listen to - constantly needed to increase the volume to be able to understand what she was saying.
Donna on the other hand was very shouty, which didn’t fit the character and was grating.
A shame because the story is great, as this author’s always are.

Poor recording and reading
The story was good but the recording let it down. I had to constantly adjust the sound level for the different characters. The somerset accents were appalling and Donna's character was portrayed rather simplistically.

Good story, but…
Some of the voices makes the characters seem not so intelligent. And infantile - more like a soap opera. Too bad. The story was good.

Sound volume
Absolutely loved the story thank you, but had to keep changing the volume for Maggie.
