About this listen

The warm, engrossing new novel from the No. 1 bestseller, Cathy Kelly

Tess used to be happy with her lot: she lives in the idyllic Irish coastal village, Avalon, with her teenage son, Zach and nine-year-old Kitty, and works in the local antiques shop. Her only regret in life is that everything went so horribly wrong with her first love. Then her marriage falls apart and her first love returns to Avalon.

Suki, Tess’s sister, fled Ireland years ago to marry politician Kyle Richardon, but when Suki discovers that a biographer is planning to tell all, there is only one place she can go to ensure that her secrets stay hidden.

Danae is the village post mistress in Avalon and she’s worked very hard to make sure nobody knows where she came from or who she is… Her past is her business and that’s the way she would like to keep it.

In Galway, Mara sits with a smile glued to her face at a wedding; she only wants to ask the groom one thing: why did he tell her he loved her? Needing to put her past behind her, Mara packs up her life and gets ready for a fresh start.

Can these four women lay their pasts to rest? Or do they need to look back before they can begin to live for the future?

easy story to follow

something interesting with a few twists but easy going. I found I invested in the characters and really enjoyed how their stories all link up. the sound is a bit muffled and then echoy in places.

I loved this story

loved the story I couldn't wait to see how all the village life came into it and ended up a love story. The story was read by the perfect reader

Cathy Kelly at her best

Loved this audiobook, loved all of the characters and missed them when the book had finished which I always think is a great sign of a good audiobook, I enjoyed the narration too very much. Would highly recommend this to fans of Maeve Binchey etc

Disappointing

This has to be the most pointless book in the history of pointless books.
This is the first review I've ever written and am hoping to save others from this dross.
Storyline goes nowhere.

Narrator read the story instead of narrating it.

Not one of Cathy Kelly’s best stories by far! The story was very weak and predictable in places.

Very Weak

I normally love these kind of books but this one left me very disappointed.
From the insipid storyline to the narrators woefully poor attempts at Kiwi, American and British accents.
The women in the story apparently just all need a man to make their lives whole again , everyone is just lovely and the story seems rushed towards the end.
DOnt waste your time or money!
