About this listen

 'If I could live inside a Jenny Colgan novel, I'd be happy forever' JILL MANSELL

EVERYONE IS SEARCHING FOR THEIR PERFECT HOUSE.
BUT HOME IS REALLY WHERE THE HEART IS ...

Janey Carter has a lot to be grateful for - a home by the sea in Carso that she renovated herself, a job as an audiologist that she loves, two great kids, and a network of kind and supportive friends. But since her husband left, her confidence has taken a nosedive. And then, out of the blue, her grumpy 30-year-old daughter announces she's moving back home. Janey loves Essie dearly but they only just made it out alive from her adolescence. And this really is going to cramp her soon-to-be-rediscovered dating style.

Yes, Essie Carter is grumpy but she's just lost her job, she can't afford her rent in Edinburgh and her boyfriend isn't ready to commit. There's nothing for it but to admit defeat and hope the sea air soothes her soul. Life seems to be punching this millennial squarely in the face.

Living back under the same roof brings its challenges. But a combination of rescue dogs, pub quizzes and a surprise project doing up the unloved Seagate Cottages next door slowly brings mother and daughter closer together. Meanwhile, the steady stream of people coming past the house with fabric swatches and paint brings revelations for Essie, and offers Janey a surprise second chance at love as well.

'An hilarious, endlessly heartwarming novel about mothers, daughters, houses, puppies and love. This book has it all' SOPHIE KINSELLA©2025 Jenny Colgan (P)2025 Hodder & Stoughton Limited Contemporary Family Life Genre Fiction Romantic Comedy Funny Heartfelt Witty Marriage
