Summary

The dazzling new novel from Richard & Judy book club author Catherine Isaac, The World at My Feet is a story about the transforming power of love, as one woman journeys to uncover the past and reshape her future.

The secrets that bind us can also tear us apart....

1990. Harriet is a journalist. Her job takes her to dangerous places, where she asks questions and tries to make a difference. But when she is sent to Romania, to the state orphanages the world is only just learning about, she is forced to rethink her most important rule. 

2018. Ellie is a gardener. Her garden is her sanctuary, her pride and joy. But, though she spends long days outdoors, she hasn’t set foot beyond her gate for far too long. Now someone enters her life who could finally be the reason she needs to overcome her fears.

From post-revolution Romania to the idyllic English countryside, The World at My Feet is the story of two women, two worlds, and a journey of self-discovery that spans a lifetime.

Shhh.... Can you keep a secret? We can’t wait to hear what you think about #TheWorldAtMyFeet. No spoilers please!

Beautiful

I saw a recommendation for this book never having heard of the author. It is an amazing and very emotional roller coaster. I loved it all, laughter and tears. I am downloading more now of Catherine’s books and looking forward to listening.

Great story🥰

I enjoyed this story. I was gripped to find out the cause of Ellie's agoraphobia and then was heartened by the supportive characters around d her.

Irritating as an audio book

The premise is sound, moving and based on fact but some of the characters are spoilt in audio, Guy particularly but also Ellie. Guy sounded incredibly cheesy in a female voice. Endless hashtags drive you up the wall. The ending was predictable and ‘film ready’ probably but that’s the nature of the book. It just didn’t work on audio for me.

Disappointed

Wouldn’t recommend this to anyone-very child like and boring, not particularly well written and had to delete from my library!!
