Great read, very enjoyable

Can't believe it is over. Will be listening to more in the series. Worth your credit and time.

Not what I expected

I was expecting the Cornish setting to be an integral part of this book, but it isn’t at all. It could have been set almost anywhere, so the title is misleading. The story is engaging enough, the characters largely sympathetic, the plot fairly predictable though overly drawn-out in places. It’s an unchallenging summer read that will fill a few hours but it won’t change your life.

Heartwarming

Such a lovely story of triumph over tragedy and the power of forgiveness. My first book by Emma Burnstall and look forward to reading others.

Fantastic hart felt read

I really loved this book, couldn't put it down.
I finished reading it with in five days.
I hope one day there is a part two....

The book is about a mum and her little girl.
The mum is a Single parent bringing up Rosey who has a disability.
Unfortunately Rosie gets ill and all the people in the Village help out.
However there some great twists and turns in the book.
I don't want to give to much away.

The character is was fantastic.
My favorites where, Rosey, Lizzie, pat, Robbert and love day....

Lovely!

I loved this book. There were some storylines that were sad and others that made you mad, but it became a great rounded story! Can't wait to listen to the next!

Rosie is adorable and the narrator was amazing!

Drawn out. Nothing to do with Tremarnock

Very well narrated. Incredibly boringingly written for the 1st 25 out of 30 chapters. A bit of a shame as the premise of the story & the last 5 chapters were interesting. You know how authors use descriptive prose to add mood, realness, & richness to a scene? - well the 1st 25 chapters were just descriptions like "Liz cut her fringe snip, snip, snip; & was surprised she could see her eyebrows". Phrases led nowhere, where not part of any plot & did not embellish any particular point the author might be making. Indeed there seemed little point in continuing with the book for a long time. Even my partner who overheard snippets said "that book sounds terribly boring". However I battled on to the end. It's such a shame the author didn't weave the main plot & sub plots throughout the book. It could have been a good read.

Nice little listen

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would as long as they don't mind a major illness in the main storyline

If you’ve listened to books by Emma Burstall before, how does this one compare?

First time

What about Georgia Maguire’s performance did you like?

She was good. Did the voices well and didn't make mistakes like most narrators do.

Could you see Tremarnock being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

None of the current chav stars would really suit. Would need to be someone unassuming for the lead. And for Rose, an actress with cerebral palsy.

Any additional comments?

Nice little story. Fairly predictable. Nice story line re lottery. Will listen to her next book.

A steady & gentle listen - a good all rounder

I liked that this book has enough content to keep you engaged but wasn't too complicated that you could dip in and out and listen without too much concentration. Well narrated, well worth a listen.

Tears and laugher all rolled in to one!

After listening to several samples I chose this book and I loved it! A simple, yet very believable story which could happen to anyone. The reader certainly brought the book to life and her narration was very in touch with the authors text. Can't wait until next month to read another book by Emma.
