About this listen

'ORIGINAL AND ENTHRALLING' Guardian
'AFFECTING AND TENDER' The Times
'COMPLETELY ENCHANTING' Penny Vincenzi

Elizabeth Pringle lived all her long life on the Scottish island of Arran. But did anyone really know her? In her will she leaves her beloved house, Holmlea, to a stranger - a young mother she'd seen pushing a pram down the road over thirty years ago. It now falls to Martha, once the baby in that pram, to answer the question: why? Martha is coping with her mother's dementia and the possibility of a new life on Arran could be a new start.

A captivating story for fans of Rosamund Pilcher, Maeve Binchy and Rachel Joyce of the richness behind the so-called ordinary lives of women and the secrets and threads that hold them together.

And Kirsty Wark's second novel, The House by the Loch, a story of unlikely love and long-hidden family secrets set in the beautiful Scottish countryside, is out now.

A perfect mix of romance, new starts and lost opportunities - both sad and satisfying. I loved Siobhan Redman's voice. I smiled and cried but was glad to have heard it.

This was a very strange tale which carried me along with it's tale of the past interwoven by it's tale of the present.the last few chapters were riveting as the reason for Elizabeth's odd behaviour became clear.

An unusual story, well read by the narrator

Great read

We read this book for our Book Club as our ‘feel-good book during Covid lockdown 3’. However this story has lots if sadness within it and might have been better read in happier times. Well constructed story - a bit if an obvious live interest in the present day story but the story of the past is better.

Read as a feel good book BUT ..............

A story that is so much more than you might imagine from reading the blurb.
Early morning drives to work have been welcomed and I have found myself continuing to listen when I arrive home. The diary of Elizabeth Pringle is perfect and convincing - and unpredictable. Don't miss this book.

Listen to this!

I love this book, having just listened to it for the second time. It is beautifully written and the descriptions of Arran and the people in the story make you feel as though you are there with them. A classic. First class narration too.

Wonderful
