About this listen

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?

I disliked that it was ended. The characters were normal with dreams, some regrets, just as we all have. I recognised people types from my own country village and thst made me smile. Thank the Lord I know people like them especially Tassi.

It made me happy because it was so believable..

This book was an absolute joy to listen to despite covering some difficult subjects such as loss and abuse. I was alternately laughing or crying at the antics of the characters who brought life to the story. Fabulous narration of so many characters.

It a wonderful story I was completely hooked. The narrator was excellent too. I haven't read any of Kate Forster's book but I will definitely be reading all she has written. I thoroughly enjoyed the read. I am a budding author myself and on my first book. If I can write something like this story I will be so pleased. Well Done Kate.
