Summary
A perfect slice of pure escapism - complete with a new countryside cottage and a very muddy dog.
City girl Ella wants to take refuge in the country, lick her wounds and work out what she's going to do with the rest of her life. She certainly doesn't want to have a four-legged houseguest or anything to do with village life. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of Wilsgrave have other ideas.
Settling in to her godmother's house for a few months of R&R, Ella finds herself the reluctant babysitter of a badly behaved Labrador - and her plans of staying mainly indoors scuppered. But as she's forced into wellies and into the village's way of doing things, Ella meets people who make her think again about what she really wants out of life and love, starting with her new furry best friend....
A gorgeously romantic tale set in an idyllic countryside village, from the author of best seller Covent Garden in the Snow. Perfect for fans of Trisha Ashley and Katie Fforde.

Predictable but enjoyable
I don't read much fiction, what I do needs to be intelligent and thought provoking. This wasn't really either. You can predict the story from the book outline. So, why did I give it 5 stars? Because in the middle of a pandemic it was very comforting to have a predictable, warmhearted story of everyday life in a safe, sleepy village. Despite the predictability, (or maybe because of that,) I found it the perfect read for challenging times; a pleasant escape from reality.

Enjoyable
Light- hearted, easy listening and good to drift off to at night. The outcome was pleasurably predictable (just how I like my endings!) and the setting well described and inviting. Well narrated and a pleasant cosy story.

Very dull
I listened to this book for a few hours hoping it would get better but I had to give up. It is boring and the main character is such a nasty person. I understand not everybody is an animal lover but the way she spoke to the dog was horrible to hear.
The narrator did a good job but this story is very dull and predictable.

village life
It was a nice story, lots of lovely characters. However not sure if it was the narrator but painfully slow. Also the main characters VERY naive to say the least. Enjoyed the dog antics
