When the Templeton family from England takes up residence in a stately home in country Australia, they set the locals talking – and with good reason.

Story
Privacy is hard to maintain in Badara, the kind of small Australian country town where everyone knows everyone else's business. So discovers single mum Paige when she and her three children arrive from the city seeking refuge. Paige's only respite from child care and loneliness is the Tuesday gym club, where she had feared the judgement of the town matriarchs, but she is met only with generosity and a plethora of baked goods. Besides, both the brusque Marion and her polished sister-in-law Briony are too busy dealing with their own dramas to examine hers.

Ok but not the best
It was all right it wasn’t the best story I’ve heard but it was her first I think there’s definitely improvement from another one that I’ve heard but it’s a sweet story

Sample this before buying!
The narration was not good. The accents were awful. Dominic’s mish mosh accent and the pronunciation of Americerrrr (America) just cringe. The Australian and Irish accents genuinely awful. I couldn’t finish it. I love Monica‘s books and I’m sure reading it myself I would have thoroughly enjoyed. But as an audio book, it wasn’t for me.

Disappointing
I really struggled to keep going and couldn't finish. So disappointing when I have truly enjoyed the earthy realism of Monica McInerny's other works. The story line was thin. The main character was a superficial bore.
Melissa Eccleston's Irish and American accents were awful. Give me Ulli Birve any day.
Sorry, this one seemed like a rush job to me.
