About this listen

 On Coronation night the ex-pat community in Hong Kong gathers for a celebration party, and 21-year-old Joy falls in love at first sight. She is engaged within 24 hours, but will not see her fiancé again for a year. Fifteen years later, when Sabine, her mother and grandmother are brought together, not only a deeply buried family secret is discovered, but also some fundamental truths: about the conflict between love and duty, about women's choices, and about mothers and daughters.©2002 Jojo Moyes (P)2003 W F Howes Ltd.

Too many to choose from!

What does Judith Boyd bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

She brings warmth and fun to the telling of the story. She interprets the characters of the story superbly.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both....I balled my eyes out when the old horse died!!!

Any additional comments?

I have loved all of Jojo Moyes books that I have listened to. She is a superb storyteller and keeps you hooked the whole way through her books. I have listened to every one of her books on Audible now and am looking forward to some new ones coming through.

Another brilliant storyline from Jojo Moyes

What a wonderful story of complex family relationships, where several families lives are intertwined and eventually one incident brings all the lies and secrets to a brilliant conclusion. Judith Boyd’s storytelling is superb. I will certainly be watching out for further works from Jojo Moyes . This story brought out every emotion, possible. I can only award high recommendation to this book. Well done!
