Summary

One of Rosamunde Pilcher's classic stories, now in unabridged audio download.

Virginia Keile has a secret dream. To have a second chance at loving the tall, handsome Cornish farmer she met - and foolishly lost - the heady summer she was a debutante.

Life has taught Virginia a great deal in 27 years - about wedding a titled bachelor picked out by her mother, about a lonely marriage that ended in her husband's accidental death, and about nearly losing her children to her husband's mother and bossy Nanny. Now she has come back to picturesque Cornwall to rent a battered seaside cottage. For herself and for the children. And to discover if this time she can fill an empty house with love.

A Lovely Cosy Tale

Loved it.

I read this story a few years ago and decided this would be my first audible story. I wasn't disappointed.

A feel good story

Very nice story and although mainly the narration was okay I could not tell the difference between Eustace and Aunt Lingard..it was so confusing at times, their voices were identical..quite annoying really.. But I enjoyed the author's descriptions of everything..amazing..I love Cornwall and I felt I was there with them. Really good writing as always..Great books to read, looking forward to my next listen..

Love Rosamunde Pilcher

But oh my goodness nearly gave up due to the dreadful fake accents of the narrator. The main character was annoyingly pathetic. I would have enjoyed just reading this book. First time using audible and if this is the quality of the narration probably thr last.
