About this listen

Anna Hemingway decides it's time for a fresh start. So Anna and her three-year-old daughter move to a cottage in the village of Little Somerby, where she takes over the running of the village tea shop, and they start to find happiness again.

Throughout a whirlwind year, life blossoms. But when history seems to be repeating itself, Anna must find the strength to hold on to her new life.

Not much story. Very repetitive struggled to listen to it. No substance thought it started ok but just went no where.

Boring

I enjoyed the story but the recording was very quiet and I couldn’t hear it well through my bone conduction headphones. I didn’t like some of the voices for the characters but ignored that to hear the whole story.

Enjoyable and easy reading

I got almost half way through and really just didn’t care enough about the characters to keep going! When I read rather than listen I can speed read and skim and probably would have copied better with the slow (possibly slow-burn but I can’t be bothered to see if it builds up) nothing much actually happens story. And it’s irritating to have emotions spelled out again and again rather than indicated. It’s never “she gave a swallow” indicating emotion and you can guess it from the context, it’s always “she gave a swallow, the grief of loss piercing her heart etc”

Not bad but not great
