About this listen
Can a house save the lives of the people who live in it? Can an inscription written in a book over 60 years ago change the fates of people not even born when it was written?
Beryl Gray is solid and dependable - her partner, Claire, thinks so, her family thinks so, her colleagues think so. She has a long-term relationship and a job she likes as a university librarian. Her life seems settled, content - except nothing is as it seems.
Aggie Bishop's last girlfriend left her three years ago and she hasn't had a date since. Her life now revolves around work and taking care of her great-aunt Cory who doesn't want to be taken care of. Aunt Cory still lives in the run-down mansion that the rest of the family wants to sell if they can only get the old lady into a nursing home. Aggie is all that stands between them and her great-aunt.
When Beryl finds a book with a romantic inscription dated 1945, the events that follow will change the lives of all three women forever.
Spanning decades, this enchanting tale reminds us that some loves never fade and that sometimes, home truly is where the heart lies.

DON'T SELL THE HOUSE!
It’s a beautifully written soulful, epic narrative, telling a story of past and present lives and loves. I fear my words will not do it justice however but here they are anyway. There’s a whole time span thing going on (reminiscent of Fried Green Tomatoes or Forrest Gump or some such) and simultaneous wars and traumas and mean-spirited relatives. But it is also filled to the brim with the kindnesses of sweet, humorous, damaged, loving people. I appreciated the coming together of their ‘chosen’ family and the representation of disability and grief. I saw the whole novel as a movie in my head with a gorgeous sweeping score. This fictitious theme tune still plays as I now go about my business as does the story. And I really want to visit the bookshop in Washington.
AND FOR GOD’S SAKE DON’T SELL THE HOUSE!!!
You have pulled every one of my heart strings Caren Werlinger. Every. One.
…I now need a moment.
Anyway, it’s actually wonderful. And the narration is absolute perfection. I loved it. Thank you.
