About this listen

The best-selling author of The Villa and The Saffron Trail returns with a gorgeous summer listen about love and starting over - set in West Dorset and beautiful Sardinia. Perfect for fans of Santa Montefiore, Dinah Jefferies and Harriet Evans.

Faye has just completed her degree in interior design when she finds herself jobless and boyfriend-less. While debating what to do next, she receives a surprise phone call from her old college friend Charlotte, who now lives in Sardinia and is married to Italian hotelier Fabio.

When Charlotte suggests that Faye relocate for a month to house-sit, Faye wonders if a summer break in sunny Sardinia might be the perfect way to recharge her batteries and think about her future. But then Charlotte tells Faye that there's something more behind the sudden invitation: her friends Marisa and Alessandro are looking for a designer to renovate a crumbling old theatre they own in the scenic village of Deriu. The idea certainly sounds appealing to Faye, but little does she know what she's letting herself in for if she accepts this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity....

I am sorry to say I thought this story was totally predictable. It should have been a two hour book.
The narrator tried hard but I felt that she always sounded fed up and even in the happy moments didn't cheer up. The reading was very very flat.
I would not recommend this book.

Predictable

The storyline was okay but somewhat spoilt by the narration, I’ve had other stories read by the same narrator and had no issues at all, on the plus side it was nice to hear perfect diction and the accents were good, however there were several long pauses though this might be down to the publisher when doing the editing. It could’ve been shorter than 17 + hours!

An enjoyable tale with a surprising twist. Keeps the listener waiting eagerly for the next chapter.

Great story telling

Felt this started slowly and the narrator sounded a little uncertain but she had a lot of characters voices to juggle and different accents so Juliette Burton did admirably!
You could feel the temperature/ climate of Italy and if Devon/ Dorset as if you might actually have been there. I ended up really enjoying this book even though I had worked out the intrigue earlier on. A very good listen.

Slow burner..,

The voice of the narrator was good for the story and female voices but inn general the men were awful.

Lovely story

I loved this book. It is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of two families, one in England and the other in Sardinia. A very clever plot made it difficult to stop listening. I shall enjoy it again, I am sure!

storyline wasn't brilliant I have heard better from this author but I'm beginning to think that this author is not my cup of tea so to speak. The narrator was good but I have heard better as narrators go.

A nice....

I absolutely adored this story. So well written. I could imagine myself in Sardinia, sampling the cuisine, sightseeing & visiting secret bays. All of the characters story developed & were expertly intertwined with one another. I feel overjoyed at the ending, but bereft that's the book is over. Wonderful. A romantic & historically well written novel that would appeal to anyone over 25yrs of age & upwards. Thank you. I'm now off to download Rosanna Ley's other novel.

Simply beautiful story
