Summary
You will love this emotional and gripping listen from Sunday Times best-selling author Fern Britton.
When the only place you want to be is home....
When Ella's beloved grandmother dies, she comes back to the beautiful Cornish coast to heal her heart. There she finds her home again and discovers a new life and new love...but she also opens a treasure trove of secrets.
Sennen left Cornwall a young single mum but unable to cope. She left her children, her family and part of her. She's spent the years hiding from her past, hiding from herself.
Now it's time to come back. To Cornwall. To face her mistakes. To pray for forgiveness. To hope for a future with her daughter.
Pendruggan: a Cornish village with secrets at its heart.

Terrible narration....
This is such a huge disappointment! The characters sound so old, kit sounds like an old man of 70!! Makes it a bit creepy....why change narration from The Postcard? Truly terrible.

Terrible
I have really enjoyed the previous books but this one is pretty awful, it lacks substance. The narration is terrible, over acted, over dramatic, read far too slowly and emphasising often the wrong words or pausing mid sentence! Terrible and such a shame

Poor narration!
The narrator should have listen to the previous narrator. She has totally changed the characters made them sound totally different from the previous book The Postcard!!! Henry sounds like a pompous idiot and Kit has totally changed and Ella sounds whinney!!

disappointed 🤔
just downloaded the book and am disappointed that Fern isn't the narrator as are the rest of her books, I hope the story line is good and hopefully I warm to Helen Lloyd's voice

Good book
Fern your voice was missing in this book but apart from that enjoyed along with all your other books. I shall feel lost not listening to anymore more stories of Penny, Helen, Piran etc. Please, write more x

Ghastly narration.
The story, which follows on from The Postcard, is okay. Lacks a little in depth and interest but generally is fine.
But oh my! The narration is appallingly bad. So much so that on a number of occasions I have been tempted to give up on it. I became fond of the characters as narrated in The Postcard but can't bear them now. Kit has suddenly become a faux Cornish country bumpkin when the due diligence of some background research would have lead the narrator to see that he did not originate from Cornwall and had, in fact, only recently arrived. Regional accents should be left well alone unless the narrator can do them well and this one can't. At all.
Ella is whiny and pathetic and Henry...ugh. In fact, each and every character has been given a whining tone that irritates and alienates the listener.
I wish that the same narrator had been used for this book as for The Postcard if only so that continuity could be maintained.

Does not sit well in 2019
This does not have the same feel of the other books. The female characters have very weak, trembly voices and are always sighing and fainting, leaving the unreasonable behaviour of the male characters completely unchecked. There are a few slightly uncomfortable moments of stereotyping that I wasn’t sure about either. I’m not some bra burning feminist - far from it - but I became frustrated at how it took a man to arrive on the scene to tackle the main male character’s nasty behaviour, whilst sensible intelligent women were seemingly paralysed by his (non existent) charms. Come on - we can do better in the present day!

disappointing
I read the first novel and although it will never win any literary awards it was ok as a holiday read. This 2nd book was quite predictable and the narration at some times cringe worthy.
