Summary

Treat yourself to a glorious novel full of food, sunshine, friendship and love!

Things haven’t always been straightforward in Poppy’s life but her dreams are finally within her reach.

She's moving into a cottage in beautiful Nightingale Square, close to the local community garden, where she can indulge her passion for making preserves and pickles. She may not have the best relationship with her family but she is surrounded by loving friends, and feels sure that even her grumpy new neighbour, Jacob, has more to him than his steely exterior belies.

But the unexpected arrival of Poppy's troubled younger brother soon threatens her new-found happiness and as the garden team works together to win community space of the year, Poppy must decide where her priorities lie and what she is prepared to fight for …

nice easy listen

I liked this book the narration was spot on and the characters came across very well.
I usually listen to mystery books where a lot happens, but sometimes I just want a bit of an easy listen, this book met that.
I will have a look at other books by Heidi Swain after this one

A great easy listen

Nice story of family life and its complications. Well read with good, easy to understand character switches. Good plot and just the right amount of romantic interest as we go along Poppy's journey with her love of gardening. Enjoyed it.
