About this listen

A heartwarming, uplifting village romance for fans of Holly Martin, Tilly Tennant and Cathy Bramley.

Buying a thatched cottage in the country may not be the usual cure for a broken heart. But after Clara Maxwell finds out her boyfriend and best friend have been sneaking around behind her back, packing her bags and leaving everything in London behind feels like it's the only way forward. When Henry Garnett, her (rather handsome) new contractor, turns up with his little daughter Pansy and a van shaped like a cottage in tow, she isn't sure whether to laugh or cry. What on earth has she gotten herself into? Still, there is something strangely lovable about the people in the little village of Merryknowe, from Rachel Brown, the quiet, lonely girl who bakes magical confections for the tearooms, to Tassie McIver, a little old lady with a lot of wisdom and a penchant for reading tea leaves. With all the heartbreak of the year behind her, could Acorn Cottage be the fresh start Clara so desperately wants?

Beautiful!! Beautiful!! Beautiful!!

I’ve listened to so many audio books I dread to think how many - this one is by far my absolute favourite!!! The story was beautiful & the narrator was superb - I giggled, shed a few tears but most of all I smiled from start to finish. Highly recommended xx

Utterly lovely!

What a gorgeous story! I wanted to go and live with Clara and Pansy. What a perfect countryside yarn with some very interesting characters. The narrator was ideal for it, it was easy to tell who was talking. However, the voice used for Henry was irritating and I don’t think fit the character.

My favourite Kate Forster book so far. There were elements that were hard going, but less than the other Kate Forster books I’ve listened to, the ‘Perfect…’ series. One of those really focused on very dark topics. Also less talk of fashion brands, no celebrity and less bedroom fun in this one! It was almost like this book was written by someone else…. And I loved it.
