About this listen

'A compelling read with a dramatic sense of place and a caring community at its heart' Heidi Swain

‘A wonderfully wise and beautifully written story about finding the courage to start over … I loved it!’ Isabelle Broom

A remote yet beautiful village. A tiny kitchen lunch club. The perfect place to start again.

Beautiful, moving and utterly absorbing, The House Beneath the Cliffs is a novel of friendship and food, storms and secrets, and the beauty of second chances.

Anna moves to Crovie, a tiny fishing village on the Moray Firth, for a fresh start. But when she arrives, she realises her new home is really no more than a shed, and the village itself sits beneath a cliff right on the edge of the sea, in constant danger of storms and landslides. Has she made a terrible mistake?

Yet as she begins to learn about the Scottish coast and its people, something she thought she’d lost reawakens in her. She rediscovers her love of cooking, and turns her kitchen into a pop-up lunch club. But not all the locals are delighted about her arrival, and some are keen to see her plans fail.

Will Anna really be able to put down roots in this remote and wild village? Or will her fragile new beginning start to crumble with the cliffs . . . ?

‘A gorgeously remote and romantic great escape, brimming with foodie passion, friendship and heart’ Laura Kemp

'A story to make you long to visit our glorious coastlines' Prima
'With a romance that gently simmers, a plot that flows as fast as the North Sea tides, and some gentle reminders of the need to protect our oceans, The House Beneath the Cliffs provides the perfect holiday getaway' Lancashire Post
'Thrilling and romantic' The People's Friend

'Packed full of warmth' Cumbria Life

Seemed a fitting title for this novel setting.
It’s not smoosh but it is a bit romantic.
I have really enjoyed listening to this. It’s often a gamble with a new to me without.
Give it a go I’d be surprised if you’re disappointed.
By the way 10/10 for narration

I was unsure what to actually expect as the author is new to me. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Fair to say not the greatest story, but enjoyable and pleasant to just listen to when you need a feel good easy read.
