Summary
'Beautifully written and both heartbreaking and heartwarming' Jessica Redland
Needing an escape, Dora swapped city living for life as a shepherdess on her grandad’s Yorkshire farm. More than a decade later Dora is still there, now farming the fifty acres and caring for the one hundred rare sheep by herself. She never hears the call of the city, but instead relishes the peace and simplicity of life on the Moors.
When Dora’s glamorous but quarrelsome sister Cass, her teenage nephew Thor and his handsome tutor Nat, turn up for an unexpected and unreasonably long stay, life on the farm is thrown into chaos. Cass brings with her unwelcome memories from the past, and of someone who once stole Dora's heart.
Dora takes refuge in the comforting routine of the farm, the sheep never allowing her too much time to dwell. But, as the seasons change, the snow starts to melt, and as lambs begin to fill the fields, Dora can’t keep hiding in the hills. Because even though she’s trying, Dora can’t run away from a love that never really let her go…
Let Jane Lovering whisk you away to the beauty and serenity of the Yorkshire Moors, far away from the noise of the city. Just right for fans of Emma Burstall, Holly Martin and Kate Forster.
'A funny, warm-hearted read, filled with characters you'll love' Matt Dunn

Most satisfying!
Author and narrator/performer were both new to me. I stumbled across the book in a Boldwood Books sale.
Absolutely loved the story, and unusually for me didn’t find any points of irritation - it was just a great listen from start to finish. The performer was perfect, ideally suited to the tone of the book, with easily discernible characters and a lovely tone.
Am now eagerly seeking more books by this team.

The best lighthearted story I have hward in years!
I tend to listen to heavy stories with 25 or 30 hours on narration
I was looking for something different and this popped up on my suggested list. A warm, interesting uncomplicated story of life and live and family turmoil on a farm in Yorkshire. it was well read and had me giggling in places.If you like a light gentle read this is a breath of fresh air.
