About this listen

Filled with secrets and surprises, fans of Debbie Macomber, Rosanna Ley and Sheila O’Flanagan will adore this stunning and totally uplifting pause-resister.

When Abby steps off the ferry and onto the isle of Kinlossay, she squeezes her daughter’s hand and prays this trip was not a mistake. For the last year she has been receiving letters from a mysterious stranger detailing every moment of his life on this rugged little island. Swept away by descriptions of buttercups dancing on rolling fields, his words were a lifeline to Abby, filling her grey life with colour.

But then, one day, the messages stopped. Perhaps Abby should have forgotten about the man who gave her hope again, but she’s learned the hard way that she needs to make her own luck in life. She knows what she felt as she read those letters, and she owes it to herself and her daughter to find out the truth. But what if the truth means discovering that nothing about the man you thought you knew is real?

Beautifully written and thought provoking

I am a crime thriller addict but have recently taken to listening to more relaxing books. What I really loved about this book was there were so many layers to it, how we deal with grief being at the heart of it. It got me to wondering how would I have dealt with this situation - I don't know, would I be angry or would I see from the start the intention? Who knows!
Beautifully written, showing how total strangers can become friends and how love comes in many forms.
Loved this book and would be delighted if Emma D wrote a sequal.

Wonderful imaginative and real

What can I say I thoroughly enjoyed this story, for once it wasn't the usual romance it had reality and relevance. It delivers a bit of mystery, romance, with real feelings and life, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful and the narrator was excellent. Thank you for a couple of days of beauty and imagination. looking out for another Emma Davies read.

Slow to start

Great narrating, but a slow first half, the second and best part, based on the remote island in Scotland ends too quickly.
Listen to this book if you want a touching, sweet book where the ending is no surprise at all.
