About this listen

Anna Hemingway decides it's time for a fresh start. So Anna and her three-year-old daughter move to a cottage in the village of Little Somerby, where she takes over the running of the village tea shop, and they start to find happiness again.

Throughout a whirlwind year, life blossoms. But when history seems to be repeating itself, Anna must find the strength to hold on to her new life.

The story was good and easy to follow. However, the narration was terrible! She made the characters sound really old, and the voice for the teenager was dreadful!

liked the story

The 15 year old teenagers voice sounded like a grey haired bosomy tweed wearing stuff and nonsense middle class woman with a bossy voice. Really irritating I was lost when the dad talked of his 15 year old daughter and I realised the blokey deep voice was the teenager.

Easy listen but the voices grated

Narrator is awful makes Mary sounds like a teenage boy just one of the many issues with her. Good story though even if a bit obvious

Good story Awful narrator

Was a very sweet story. Very slow start nearly gave in at chapter 5. some of the voices used for characters did not suit the person. Really irritating voices at time.

Some terrible voices for some characters

Really enjoyed the story but the narration was awful in places, especially as the character of 15 year old female Meredith sounded like a 45 year old male aristocrat !!

Lovely story.
