About this listen
Anna Hemingway decides it's time for a fresh start. So Anna and her three-year-old daughter move to a cottage in the village of Little Somerby, where she takes over the running of the village tea shop, and they start to find happiness again.
Throughout a whirlwind year, life blossoms. But when history seems to be repeating itself, Anna must find the strength to hold on to her new life.

Didn't enjoy the narrator
Found that voices of characters got confused and tone and pitch often didn't match text.

Good story
A good story, the plot is a good story but I’m sorry this has to be the worst narrator ever, Mary sounded like a butch tranny and Ellie a puppet. Had to finish the story but hated the narrative

Started Well
This started well and overall was fairly enjoyable, but at the point where the chap just stopped speaking was a bit daft and not something (in my experience would happen in real life) so the story became less believable. Added to the annoyance that the teenage daughter had a deeper voice than her dad made the performance sub-par.

Nice light hearted story - main character so dull!
I bought this book to accompany me during commuting times and it didn't disappoint. It reads easily, grips you with its narration and is quite romantic despite the many cliches.
I had two issues however that spoiled it some times for me: 1. I am sorry to say that Anna is rather dull....I could not identify with her at all. The author did not provide enough insight into her thoughts or behaviour to make her that extra special; she takes everything in, in an annoyingly stoic way. Most other characters had more soul and jazz to them.
2. I liked the actress who read it, but for some reason at times it seemed almost robotic...

Great story
The reader was little bland in places almost emotionless in parts a bit too fast in others

Nice story. Shame about the narration
the narrator has a depressing tone and her choice of deep masculine voice for a teenage girl very distracting.

Easy listen but the voices grated
The 15 year old teenagers voice sounded like a grey haired bosomy tweed wearing stuff and nonsense middle class woman with a bossy voice. Really irritating I was lost when the dad talked of his 15 year old daughter and I realised the blokey deep voice was the teenager.

liked the story
The story was good and easy to follow. However, the narration was terrible! She made the characters sound really old, and the voice for the teenager was dreadful!
