About this listen

Rosamunde Pilcher's best-selling, heartwarming tale of innocence and youth set during the 1930s.

Born in Colombo, Judith Dunbar spends her teenage years at boarding school while her beloved mother and younger sister live abroad with her father. When her new friend, Loveday Carey-Lewis, invites Judith home for the weekend to Nancherrow, the Carey-Lewises' beautiful estate on the Cornish coast, it is love at first sight.

She falls in love, too, with the generous Carey-Lewises themselves. With their generosity and kindness, Judith grows from naive girl to confident young woman, basking in the warm affection of a surrogate family whose flame burns brightly. But it is a flame soon to be extinguished in the gathering storm of war. And Judith herself has far to travel before at last...coming home.

I've read it twice myself, then thoroughly enjoyed listening to Helen read it to me. Her voice was perfect. The story is beautiful and the characters capture your heart.

One of my all time favourite books.

I've read the book at least 4 times over the years and this is the second time I've listened to the audiobook. It's like putting on a warm blanket, the characters are so likeable and you really feel like you become a part of the family. love it!

This was my first Rosamund Pilcher novel and it certainly won’t be my last. I absolutely loved it! A wonderful coming of age novel. I loved following Judith’s life journey commencing before WW2, the beautiful Cornwall setting and all the memorable characters along the way.
I became truly immersed in the story and all the characters and was very sad when it ended.
The narrator was brilliant.

A masterpiece
