Meet Willa Knox, a woman who stands braced against a world which seems to hold little mercy for her and her family - or their old, crumbling house, falling down around them. Willa's two grown-up children, a new-born grandchild, and her ailing father-in-law have all moved in at a time when life seems at its most precarious. But when Willa discovers that a pioneering female scientist lived on the same street in the 1800s, could this historical connection be enough to save their home from ruin? And can Willa, despite the odds, keep her family together?

Just found very boring and - sorry- Barbara’s voice is quite annoying! Very slow and didn’t get me straight away so persevered but to no avail!

I had high expectations for this book, and it didn't disappoint. A beautifully woven treat.

This is my third novel from this author. She is now my absolute favourite- once I start listening I find it very difficult to stop. This novel is particularly well constructed, informative and absorbing. It’s one I shall return to.

I was at times exasperated by Willa and nauaeated by Tig's goody goodyness. Mary too seemed too good to be true at times. I found it very American (obviously!!) which I also struggled with, but it is a richly woven story full of wisdom which I ultimately enjoyed...the more so for knowing it had it's foundation in real events and people.
