Summary

You will love this best-selling novel by Sunday Times best-selling author Fern Britton. The perfect escape to Cornwall, for fans of Katie Fforde and Celia Imrie.

Helen Merrifield decides to start afresh and put her old life behind her in the picture-postcard Cornish village of Pendruggan. Throwing herself into the local scene, Helen finds herself at the mercy of the rather desperate Vicar, but she is secretly drawn to the brooding local historian, Piran.

Meanwhile, Helen’s best friend, Penny, decides that the village is the perfect setting for her new TV series. When the cast and crew descend, the village is thrown into a tizzy, but Helen has her hands full fending off her philandering ex-husband, who seems determined to charm his way back into her bed.

Should Helen hold on to the past? Or will Cornwall give her something new to treasure?

I loved every minute!x

Wanted to read this none stop n needed matchsticks to stay awake cause I didn't want to stop at any point of the story.Ferns voice narrating was so easy to listen to and never over took the storyline.Quite a few giggles along the way & it gave me a feeling of being beside the seaside or sat in a small cosy local pub or wherever Helen (I would say the main character but each of the other characters had a much needed & adored personality within the story)was at that point!There were lots of different sides to the book.Warm n glowy love story, funny parts, good country community aspect & plus the 'hidden treasure' story that unravels within the daily lives of the folk in the village.Definately loved everything about this book & am a positive convert to Fern Brittons' style of writing.A+++++++++ Dii x

A relaxing feel good read.

loved 5he story . The performance would have got 5 stars but found it irritating that the word Chapter 3 etc cut in before the last word had hardly finished! needs a pause in between chapters. makes it feel rushed. .however a good story.

Enjoyable story and performance

Fern Britton brings the characters to life with her accents and expression. Her description of the places around Cornwall made me feel I was there,
I enjoyed every moment.

Enjoyed the story

I enjoyed this story but it was spoiled by the narration. This was rushed with hardly a pause for breath, even between chapters. I tried slowing it down but that just made it so slow it was unbearable.

A mellow meander

A pleasant read with nicely described characters set in a cornish village. Beautifully read and kept me listening.
