About this listen

A surprise present, a mystery sender and a sprinkling of secrets. Escape with bestselling author Cressida McLaughlin!

‘A warm and comforting read’ Woman & Home

‘Wonderful’ Woman’s Own

___________________________________

Can their Christmas love story last a lifetime?

In a village by the sea, where wintry skies bring a dusting of sparkling snow, somebody is opening an unexpected gift…

When Sophie receives a surprise package, she’s intrigued to find a beautifully bound book inside.

Sophie is desperate to discover the mystery sender, and her hunt draws her to the enigmatic Harry. The subject of much gossip since his return from London, Harry keeps to himself in his crumbling manor house.

But they are both about to learn that the best stories can take on a life of their own.

I love listening to Christmas or bookstore stories. Sweet and simple to listen to. Nothing complicated.

Interesting tale

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The story line was fine but could have been completed in half the time. Too much waffle of nothing

Not up to standard

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I'm sure that if you were to read the book yourself the characters would be interpreted differently, unfortunately, the reading of this is simpering and becomes annoying.

Meh

I'm a big fan of Cressida Mclaughlin. Her story lines are always great and believable, and this book didn't dissapoint. The only slight negative of her books, and this is a personal preference, is the swear words which Cressida seems to think a necessary part of the readers enjoyment. In my opinion they don't add anything to the books. As I said it's a personal preference. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Lovely story and characters

I really want to finish this, but the narration is so simpering and feeble - it makes Sophie, the main character seem weak and annoying! Will have to read the book instead

Can’t finish it!
