À propos de cet audio
A woman desperate to turn a new page heads to the Scottish coast and finds herself locked in a battle of wills with an infuriatingly aloof bookseller in this utterly heartwarming debut, perfect for readers of Evvie Drake Starts Over.
“Humor and charm abound.... [This] love story hits the spot.” (Publishers Weekly)
Thea Mottram is having a bad month. She’s been let go from her office job with no notice - and to make matters even worse, her husband of nearly twenty years has decided to leave her for one of her friends. Bewildered and completely lost, Thea doesn’t know what to do. But when she learns that a distant great uncle in Scotland has passed away, leaving her his home and a hefty antique book collection, she decides to leave Sussex for a few weeks. Escaping to a small coastal town where no one knows her seems to be exactly what she needs.
Almost instantly, Thea becomes enamored with the quaint cottage, comforted by its cozy rooms and lovely but neglected garden. The locals in nearby Baldochrie are just as warm, quirky, and inviting. The only person she can’t seem to win over is bookshop owner Edward Maltravers, to whom she hopes to sell her uncle’s book collection. His gruff attitude - fueled by an infamous, long-standing feud with his brother, a local lord - tests Thea’s patience. But bickering with Edward proves oddly refreshing and exciting, leading Thea to develop feelings she hasn’t experienced in a long time. As she follows a thrilling yet terrifying impulse to stay in Scotland indefinitely, Thea realizes that her new life may quickly become just as complicated as the one she was running from.

Histoire
In a sleepy seaside town in Maine, recently widowed Eveleth "Evvie" Drake rarely leaves her large, painfully empty house nearly a year after her husband’s death in a car crash. Everyone in town, even her best friend, Andy, thinks grief keeps her locked inside, and Evvie doesn’t correct them. Meanwhile, in New York City, Dean Tenney, former Major League pitcher and Andy’s childhood best friend, is wrestling with what miserable athletes living out their worst nightmares call the "yips": he can’t throw straight anymore, and, even worse, he can’t figure out why.

Every day Iona, a larger-than-life magazine advice columnist, travels the ten stops from Hampton Court to Waterloo Station by train, accompanied by her dog, Lulu. Every day she sees the same people, whom she knows only by nickname: Impossibly-Pretty-Constant-Reader and Terribly-Lonely-Teenager. Of course, they never speak. Seasoned commuters never do. Then one morning, the man she calls Smart-But-Sexist-Manspreader chokes on a grape right in front of her. He’d have died were it not for the timely intervention of Sanjay, a nurse, who gives him the Heimlich maneuver.

This was so much fun to listen to.
Beautifully narrated. I wish it didn’t have to end.
I listened to it during a stressful time, and felt so grateful for the entertaining diversion.

Catchy & Clichéd
The first half of the book was quite catchy. It was surprising to get the perspective, of what seems like the true voice, of a middle-aged woman in what’s clearly a romantic novel.
The second half is unfortunately trite. It’s as though the main character, who previously seemed like a woman who had a rough time, although one who isn’t to be pitied, becomes a sad cliché, a typical “who could love me, I’ll let the man I like mistreat me”trope. Ugh. Disappointed. I was rooting for her. Had to stop listening an hour before finishing.

Brilliant! Couldn't stop listening to it
Thea will capture your heart. She is strong, witty, determined and clever. Her story about starting over is not unique but nonetheless endearing.
The narrating is wonderful. Read with such energy and passion, it is truly heart warming to listen to. I couldn't stop thinking about the story when not listening to it and could hear Thea's narrated voice in my head while going about my day.
I look forward to other books and hope they use the same narrator.

Absolutely wonderful !
The writing is terrific…perfectly paced, interesting plot…no repetitive words…great vocabulary. My kind of story but the unfolding of the story is far beyond my expectations ! It is so wonderful to find such an awesome author where you do not expect it. I am excitedly waiting for her next work ! Excellent as well because I really enjoy the narrator as well…just an interesting story very well written and told. Loved it !
