About this listen

 Glasgow, 1929 Beattie Blaxland had dreams. Big dreams. She dreamed of a life of fashion and fabrics. One thing she never dreamed was that she would find herself pregnant to her married lover, just before her 19th birthday. London, 2009 Emma Blaxland-Hunter was living her dream. A prima ballerina with the London Ballet, she had everything ... until the moment she lost it all. Separated by decades, both women must find the strength to rebuild their lives. A legacy from one to the other will lead to Wildflower Hill, a place where a woman can learn to stand alone long enough to realise what she really wants. This is a refreshed cover edition.©2008 Kimberley Freeman. (P)2010 Bolinda Publishing Fiction Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Literary Fiction

I love the way Kimberley Freeman pulls me into the world’s she creates, and makes the landscapes, people and surroundings so rich and intricate.

I found this story, out of all Kimberley Freeman’s the hardest but also the most compelling to listen to because of the events that the young protagonist goes through. I was cheering her on, wanting things to work out for her. I think she might actually be my favourite lead in all of her books, and I’ve read most of them!

I also loved how the towns in Tasmania are brought to life so vividly. I really felt like I was there, and the atmosphere was perfect.

I don’t really have an dislikes for this book. I did find that I have to invest more at the start of the story to really get drawn in, but I personally like that style and once it gets going, it’s really well paced.

I also have a lot of affection for this narrator that has done several of Freeman’s books. Her accents aren’t 100% spot on but I find her voice, tone and pitch so easy to listen to, that I don’t mind the accents.

I wish there were more books of Freeman’s/Wilkins on audible!

Heart wrenching and beautiful

This may be a good story, but the narrator is hopeless at regional British accents and this really ruins the book.

Awful Scottish accents
