About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

It's time for a fresh start...

After a decade of building her career in the city, Beca is ready to escape the humdrum. When she sees her dream home for sale in her hometown, it starts to seem like fate.

But when she arrives and visits her grandparents' ice cream parlour, Beca is horrified to find out that the new owner, her ex-boyfriend Ed, has stripped the heart out of it. Determined to honour her family's legacy, Beca decides to follow in their footsteps and make delicious ice cream with the help of a long-forgotten recipe book and boat house.

As a fierce rivalry develops, Beca must rely on her oldest friend, Griff, to help her make the parlour a success.

But when disaster strikes, is Beca about to discover that true happiness has been right in front of her the whole time?

My first Jo Thomas book and , as they say ,it won’t be my last.
Loved the premise, of the characters, the setting, the narration and accents were excellent. Really enjoyable. Wanted to spend more time with them and feel a bit of a rift. Some of the closing scenes I had to reach for a tissue. Powerful writing from a master. :-)

Fabulously entertaining

I've read all this author's books and enjoyed them, but this one is I think her best.
The scenery and characters were easy to visualise and the narrator was excellent.
I finished it wanting to visit South Wales and eat gelato!

A brilliant listen.

Wonderful descriptions of Pembrokeshire, easy listening to dream and escape to. Thoughtful at times but has points to be grateful or laugh with the characters too.
Thank you.

Beautifully warm

Brilliantly read and a story to warm your soul - loved the fact it was read in a Welsh accent making it all the more heartwarming. Keep them coming!
