Summary
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.

A brilliant book - BEAUTIFULLY read
Rosamunde Pilcher’s books are captivating and moving, intricate stories about full and believable characters. This places a heavy responsibility upon the shoulders of an audiobook reader!
Helen Johns read this SO WELL that she became the voice of both Rosamunde Pilcher and my imagination. The whole thing was a treat from beginning to end.
Don’t hesitate!

Lovely warm listen
I read this book many years ago and enjoyed it then but it was even better listening to it. I thought the narrator was lovely - a very well spoken voice without being ‘posh’ and she did the individuals very well. Rosamunde Pilcher always writes the most charming books and it was lovely to be taken from before the war, Judith’s exploits through the war and then afterwards. The Carey-Lewis family sound delightful and the descriptions of their lunch parties and the fabulous scenery of Cornwall was a tonic. I shall be listening to the next Pilcher book very soon.

Wonderful
Beautifully written with charming characters and the narrator captured each character very well so very relaxing to listen to. Other reviews mention that the first few chapters her voice sounds shakey but I think this is reflecting the young character Judith who grows in confidence so only lasts a few chapters. Beautiful story that takes you through the war and lots of emotions with it. Highly recommend.
