About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
After the storm, it's time for a fresh start....
The powerful and heart-stirring new novel by the Sunday Times best-selling author of Unexpected Lessons in Love.
First, the clouds...
Tara Hunter is a therapist on a mission to restore Longhampton's community spirit after catastrophic flooding. But with her boyfriend AWOL, her family fragmented and only a cat for company, Tara's own life's on rocky foundations.
Then the storm...
Dr David Dalloway is Longhampton Wellness Centre's new star counsellor. He invites pets to session. He also has a knack of reading people's minds - which is the last thing Tara needs right now.
And after the rain....
Charismatic architect Keith Hunter was last seen in Longhampton 20 years ago, when he walked out on 10-year-old Tara and her twin brother, Toby. But now he's back, with a surprising offer that could change everything. Is a bigger storm on the horizon? Or is this Tara's chance to rebuild her broken past?

"My heart is smashed and repaired for reading this wonderfully romantic and strong piece of fiction." (Milly Johnson)
"Real, heartbreaking - I loved it." (Katie Fforde)

Interesting storyline
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Overall it has a slightly melancholic atmosphere, with some moments of lightness, to break this up and add a much needed spoonful of honey sweetness. And I like that people's pets are quite clearly the unsung stars of the show here. The narrator brings calmness and the characters' clear voices, she reads well.
Complex and beautiful
