Resumen del Editor

A heartwarming, uplifting village romance for fans of Holly Martin, Tilly Tennant and Cathy Bramley.

Buying a thatched cottage in the country may not be the usual cure for a broken heart. But after Clara Maxwell finds out her boyfriend and best friend have been sneaking around behind her back, packing her bags and leaving everything in London behind feels like it's the only way forward. When Henry Garnett, her (rather handsome) new contractor, turns up with his little daughter Pansy and a van shaped like a cottage in tow, she isn't sure whether to laugh or cry. What on earth has she gotten herself into? Still, there is something strangely lovable about the people in the little village of Merryknowe, from Rachel Brown, the quiet, lonely girl who bakes magical confections for the tearooms, to Tassie McIver, a little old lady with a lot of wisdom and a penchant for reading tea leaves. With all the heartbreak of the year behind her, could Acorn Cottage be the fresh start Clara so desperately wants?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Charming and totally absorbing [...] I could not put this down!" (Holly Martin)

Wonder and poetic! A quiet masterpiece in its genre!

Like another reviewer, I was reluctant to finish this book it was so enjoyable. But instead, I finished it in one day! I couldn’t help myself. I was enthralled from beginning to end. What a joyful, deep and meaningful story! I highly recommend this novel.

Wonderful story. Narration of male characters not so good.

Story was excellently presented. Had to finish it, so I didn’t worry about what was going to happen!
 The narrator was excellent with all women’s voices and accents, but was not good with the male characters. I found it hard to listen to her interpretation of Henry’s voice. He sounded more like a country bumpkin than the strong male character he was supposed to portray.

Loved it!

The characters are very real…and you can see the writers imagery. The story is very entertaining and light. Really recommend!

So sweet!

I just loved this book! It was the perfect “getaway” that I needed!! Heartfelt and charming….I couldn’t stop listening.

Wonderful story, wonderful narrator

Loved this book. Been a while since I found a book that I was reluctant to finish because I didn’t want it to end! Wish there would be sequels to this… With the same narrator…hint hint Ms. Kate Forster :-)

A real Feel Good Book!

I really enjoyed this book! I listen to several books at a time, switching back and forth between them. This one became the one I finished the fastest because I liked it so much! The characters are well defined and the story is engaging! The narrator/performer did a great job and it was a pleasure just to listen to her voice.

Definitely a feel good book

Loved the resilience of women sticking together and men who loved them for it. There is evil in this world. Some do not have the power to overcome it til they are older. But when they do a whole new life can emerge. Enjoyed it.

Half a Box of Tissues....GONE.

I have just found this author and I literally cannot say enough good things about the two books I have listened to. This one is absolute perfection. It is so charming, and sweet, I also loved the character development; each and every one of them had something they needed to "work through" and it was so relatable.
I thought it would be "lighthearted" but it has A LOT of depth; I am not kidding when I say I used half a box of tissues. It hit me pretty hard in the feels.

I HIGHLY recommend this book, and although I have only listened to 2 of her books so far, I HIGHLY recommend this author.

**I know some people are sensitive to certain content: this book does talk about domestic violent households. Not in a graphic, disturbing way but it is part of the characters story so just wanted to throw that out there**

Throughly enjoyed

Loved this book from beginning to end. I highly recommend, can’t wait to read more from this lovely author.

Stand alone

Good book. Loved the story. I also like that it was a stand alone read. No need to search for the next book to see what happens!
