About this listen

How can a meek wallflower help a returning war hero whose dreams are plunged into darkness?

Mary Bloomfield has no illusions. Her chances for matrimony have long since passed. Still, her circumstances are pleasant enough, especially now that she has found purpose in assisting her father with his medical practice in England's beautiful Lake District. Even without love, it's a peaceful life.

That is until Adam Edgerton returns to the sleepy district. This decorated war hero did not arrive home to acclaim and rest, but to a new battle against the repercussions of an insidious disease. Mary's caring nature cannot stand to see someone suffer - but how can she help this man see any brightness in his future when he's plunged into melancholic darkness?

Adam wants no charity, but he's also no coward. If this gentle woman can work hard, how can he do less? Together they struggle to find a way forward for him. Frustration and antipathy slowly develop into friendship and esteem. Then a summer storm atop a mountain peak leads to scandal - and both Mary and Adam must search the depths of their closed hearts for answers if they hope to find any future path with happiness at its end.

The story was promising but I gave up due to poor reading of it.

The whole was spoilt for me by the huffy breathing of the reader,
It was very distracting,her bad pronunciation of certain words eg. fother instead of father, there were others , which made the text barely comprehensible. In addition there was the added irritant of a rather sing songy rhythm to her reading,each sentence had the same up and down pattern, with no expression or emotion.
I shall have to go and buy the book on Amazon just to discover the story, to judge it on its true merit.

Narrator ruined the story

This is a really lovely story that has been ruined by the narrator. Her sing song narration with upflexions at the end of sentences is so irritating, as is her pronunciation of certain words.
I only stuck with it as I wanted to know how the story unfolded.
