Publisher's summary

In number-one New York Times best-selling author Rosamunde Pilcher’s Wild Mountain Thyme, a woman learns to forgive her ex - and herself - when she joins him on a journey where she’ll discover love is always a possibility.

Oliver Dobbs was a writer first and a man second. To him other people were tools. Even though he had broken Victoria Bradshaw’s heart once, when he arrived on her doorstep with a two-year-old son, she found she could not refuse him, and the three of them set out for a castle in Scotland. There, Victoria meets the new laird and finds her crushed spirit awakening.

Adorable read

I am addicted to Rosamunde Pilchner’s books. Such an enjoyable read. I just wish it had been longer!

Another Pilcher pleasure

I’m such a fan of this author. Even though predictable in nature, one falls in love with the characters including the beautiful countryside. The narrator was so pleasant and easy to listen too.

Beautiful story of Scotland

I loved the character of Victoria and John but found Oliver a total jerk! The descriptions of Scotland were lovely.

A good listen.

I was totally absorbed in the story and didn’t want it to end.
The narrator did a great job.

Beautifully Written, Weak Heroine

As with all of Pilcher’s books, this story has a lovely setting and is beautifully described. I was very bothered by Victoria’s willingness to allow herself to terribly treated and the other characters’ tacit consent to the verbal abuse hurled at her.

Loved every word

I loved the characters, the setting, the pace, and the comfy feeling from being a part of the adventure, not simply reading about it! I would call it lovely in every way!

A Comfortable and Easy Listen

As a fan of Rosamunde Pilcher I loved this story. This was the first work of hers I read over 30 years ago. The narrator is amazing, capturing all the emotion and different voices perfectly.

An interesting tale

I found the story quite interesting. The author did an excellent job of explaining the character of Oliver, what drives him and what he is all about. While I did not like him, I thought he was very accurately portrayed. As far as the heroine of the story, I absolutely understood why she kept accepting Oliver. When you have no-one, you give up a lot to have someone, so her actions were completely understandble. The narration was great.

Delightful read

While some plot aspects are a little implausible, Rosamond Pilcher never fails to develop characters who come fully alive and who evoke caring in the reader. Her scenes of Scotland, too, are in trancing. I thoroughly enjoyed this and every Pilcher novel I have read. Excellent reading as well. I am a late comer to listening to books but I have happily discovered that different accents and nationalities can be even better understood through hearing than through simply reading on the page.
