About this listen

Sara Monteith makes an ideal correspondent for Hugo Jamieson, brother of her lost love Ivo, killed in the war before they could marry. Her neighbours in the lovely Border village of Ravenskirk don't know that Sara has moved here because it's where Ivo and Hugo grew up, but they welcome her warmly. Soon, she's drawn into the active village social scene of tea parties, gardening, carol-singing, and Coronation festivities. Meanwhile she's dodging the judgments of stern Miss Bonaly, defending her helper Madge Marchbanks, befriending kind, practical Elizabeth Drysdale and charming Mrs. Currie and her daughter Sylvia (the latter first met halfway through Sara's drawing room window), and having an embarrassing first encounter with rugged Major Whitburn. Add in her nephew Arthur, his dog Pam, and even Hugo himself returning unexpectedly from overseas, and Sara's life is a 'ceaseless whirl' indeed!

Very enjoyable story about life in a 1950s Scottish Borders village with lots of interesting characters and descriptions of the Scottish countryside. Reminded me of Angela Thirkell’s novels. Narrator was excellent. Hope there will be more by this author.

Very enjoyable.
