About this listen

Rosamunde Pilcher's best-selling, heartwarming tale of innocence and youth set during the 1930s.

Born in Colombo, Judith Dunbar spends her teenage years at boarding school while her beloved mother and younger sister live abroad with her father. When her new friend, Loveday Carey-Lewis, invites Judith home for the weekend to Nancherrow, the Carey-Lewises' beautiful estate on the Cornish coast, it is love at first sight.

She falls in love, too, with the generous Carey-Lewises themselves. With their generosity and kindness, Judith grows from naive girl to confident young woman, basking in the warm affection of a surrogate family whose flame burns brightly. But it is a flame soon to be extinguished in the gathering storm of war. And Judith herself has far to travel before at last...coming home.

Length, Breadth and Depth

I enjoyed the story very much, though at first I was very put off by the breathy, girly way the narrator chose to tell it.
I presume this was because the story began in the mind of a young girl, but in my view this trivialised the content, making it all sound rather twee, and despite the seriousness of many of the issues it explored, almost descending to the level of chick lit.

Great story

I loved this story, this is my favourite of the author's books so far.. Living in Devon myself and knowing Cornwall so well, it was good to hear of familiar places, it brought back so many happy memories of holidays in Cornwall. Very well narrated considering there were so many different characters in this story. Wonderful..

Loved it

I didn’t mind the narrator at all - read reviews and was expecting the worst but didn’t grate on me.

What a wonderful story, and was so sad when it finished, I wanted to stay with the characters longer.
