About this listen

Childless Maeve Corrigan, though rich and successful, is dying of cancer. She wants to leave her business empire to one of the offspring of her two estranged brothers, Des and Leo. But which young relative should she choose? Des has four children, and he is overstretched financially. Leo is the unambitious owner of a hardware store in a remote Australian town and has two children.

As the younger generation begin to gather around Maeve, old secrets are revealed, new allegiances made, and there are surprises for each member of the family. It soon becomes clear that the Corrigan legacy is not what it first appears.

Critic reviews

"Fast-moving and populated with compelling characters." (Booklist)

This is the first book by Anna Jacobs that I have listened to. From the start I was hooked. The narrator was very easy to listen to although some of the accents were a little ‘off’ but this did not stop my enjoyment of the story. Well thought out storyline & plenty of twists & turns within the family. I shall be looking forward to more by this author.

Enjoyable story

Engaging listen with solid character development and good plot progression. Developing relationships among the various characters, including a romantic pairing adds particular interest.

Some of the characters are too good to be true really, yet they are completely believable. I appreciate how the reader has clearly read the chapters in advance, so she expresses the speech of the characters correctly even before the text gives the description.

The clever plotting. The warm, happy ending.

Lovely story

This is the first contemporary novel of Anna's that I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.
Lots of ups and downs, with Maeve Corrigan, the matriarch, at the centre of the story. Without giving away spoilers, I could relate to one of the characters because I have a daughter who suffered for many years with the same debilitating health condition.
If you have read any of Anna's period novels and aren't sure about her contemporary books, I can recommend this one.
The narrator was excellent too.

Another excellent Anna Jacobs book
