Summary
A gripping and uplifting new audiobook by the author of BA Book of the Month and LoveReading Debut of the Month Patience.
Connie Darke is trying to run away from the traumas in her past, and it's led her home, to the small rural council estate she left almost 20 years earlier.
Matilda Reynolds has spent most of her long life in the Worcestershire village of Stonecastle, and she's content there, with her animals and her solitude. Until a fall lands her in hospital, and Matilda has to turn to her strange young neighbor Connie for help looking after her home.
Out of their tentative arrangement, each woman gains a new sense of community. But before long, that community comes under threat when the council decides to sell the estate, to make way for expensive developments.
Connie and Matilda are determined to fight for their home, whatever it takes...

Are you sitting comfortably?
Then I'll begin.
This book is a good old-fashioned tale about a village under attack by another money-grabbing building developer. As the village pulls together to fight off the corrupted would-be buyer to save their homes, you learn through Scott's exquisite writing how much their homes mean to them.
Each character is beautifully brought to life, from miserable Matilda to tortured Connie. Both of whom have deeply hidden secrets.
If you are after a great read on a cold winter's night, buy this book immediately. I'm certainly glad I did.
