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.

love this author and wiekingcway through her works. Rather sad to be leaving the characters and their Cornish lives as WW2 approaches, overtakes them and resurface the other side. Really loved the performance too.

I read the reviews on this and was undecided for a while. Having decided to go ahead with it, I found it very slow at the beginning and it struggled to hold my attention.
As the story progressed and began to unfold, somehow suddenly I began to really listen and came to really like it. The narration irritated me first, but I gently succumbed to it without much effort.
As the end was closing nearer, I found that I really didn't want it too. I wanted to hear more about the characters and how their lives continued.

Absolutely loved this book. The best audio book I have listened to. A fantastic, heart warming story and and with first class narration.
It is long, over forty hours, but I didn’t want it to end. I highly recommend this book and this author. I have already enjoyed several other books by her and plan to listen to more.

I loved this story, this is my favourite of the author's books so far.. Living in Devon myself and knowing Cornwall so well, it was good to hear of familiar places, it brought back so many happy memories of holidays in Cornwall. Very well narrated considering there were so many different characters in this story. Wonderful..
