About this listen

England, 1799: A traumatized soldier returning to a derelict inheritance. A widow with a small son and a manipulative father.

Major Matthew Southam returns from India, hoping to put the trauma of war behind him and forget his past. Instead, he finds a derelict estate and a family who wish he'd died abroad.

Charlotte MacKinnon married without love to avoid her father's unpleasant choice of husband. Now a widow with a young son, she lives in a small Cotswold village with only the money she earns by her writing.

Matthew is haunted by his past, and Charlotte is fearful of her father's renewed meddling in her future. After a disastrous first meeting, can they help each other find happiness?

The hero is a decent, principled man damaged by war who blunts his guilt with alcohol. The heroine is a managing, independent widow with a young son and an ambitious father. Their love story is restrained but beautiful.

the story was well written with interesting characters whose adventures I became engrossed quickly. Tha narration was well done, and easy to listen to. I also liked that the accent was British, even though I think k she was an American. I find it irritating when a story set in Britain is read with an American accent

Lovely story!
