About this listen

Rosamunde Pilcher's best-selling, heartwarming tale of innocence and youth set during the 1930s.

Born in Colombo, Judith Dunbar spends her teenage years at boarding school while her beloved mother and younger sister live abroad with her father. When her new friend, Loveday Carey-Lewis, invites Judith home for the weekend to Nancherrow, the Carey-Lewises' beautiful estate on the Cornish coast, it is love at first sight.

She falls in love, too, with the generous Carey-Lewises themselves. With their generosity and kindness, Judith grows from naive girl to confident young woman, basking in the warm affection of a surrogate family whose flame burns brightly. But it is a flame soon to be extinguished in the gathering storm of war. And Judith herself has far to travel before at last...coming home.

Length, Breadth and Depth

I enjoyed the story very much, though at first I was very put off by the breathy, girly way the narrator chose to tell it.
I presume this was because the story began in the mind of a young girl, but in my view this trivialised the content, making it all sound rather twee, and despite the seriousness of many of the issues it explored, almost descending to the level of chick lit.

A brilliant book - BEAUTIFULLY read

Rosamunde Pilcher’s books are captivating and moving, intricate stories about full and believable characters. This places a heavy responsibility upon the shoulders of an audiobook reader!

Helen Johns read this SO WELL that she became the voice of both Rosamunde Pilcher and my imagination. The whole thing was a treat from beginning to end.

Don’t hesitate!
