Starting Over at Acorn Cottage

De: Kate Forster

Narrado por: Francesca Waite

A heartwarming, uplifting village romance for fans of Holly Martin, Tilly Tennant and Cathy Bramley.

Buying a thatched cottage in the country may not be the usual cure for a broken heart. But after Clara Maxwell finds out her boyfriend and best friend have been sneaking around behind her back, packing her bags and leaving everything in London behind feels like it's the only way forward. When Henry Garnett, her (rather handsome) new contractor, turns up with his little daughter Pansy and a van shaped like a cottage in tow, she isn't sure whether to laugh or cry. What on earth has she gotten herself into? Still, there is something strangely lovable about the people in the little village of Merryknowe, from Rachel Brown, the quiet, lonely girl who bakes magical confections for the tearooms, to Tassie McIver, a little old lady with a lot of wisdom and a penchant for reading tea leaves. With all the heartbreak of the year behind her, could Acorn Cottage be the fresh start Clara so desperately wants?

If you let hope in.

A Nice Story

This is a nice story and one that keeps the listener engaged the whole time. I loved the characters and the rural setting. The only thing that I found off putting was the editing. It was clearly recorded over several different sessions with different settings or a different studio used. The quality and volume of the narrator changes at regular intervals and it quite annoying when listening on good speakers in a quiet environment.

Other than that, this is a well narrated, well written book and was very enjoyable. I have listened to two novels by this author now, and will be listening to more in the future.

Lovely narrative and beautiful imagery!

Such a wonderful story despite the sad and ugly people who were encountered in the narrative!

loved this book!

I loved it all, and couldn't wait to get to my story!
I hated it coming to an end!
like a little vacation ❤️

Don't forget who you love, and always let them know,

Don't let any one beat you down, 😭😭 surround your self with real family and friends

Wonderful story, wonderful narrator

Loved this book. Been a while since I found a book that I was reluctant to finish because I didn’t want it to end! Wish there would be sequels to this… With the same narrator…hint hint Ms. Kate Forster :-)

Definitely a feel good book

Loved the resilience of women sticking together and men who loved them for it. There is evil in this world. Some do not have the power to overcome it til they are older. But when they do a whole new life can emerge. Enjoyed it.

A real Feel Good Book!

I really enjoyed this book! I listen to several books at a time, switching back and forth between them. This one became the one I finished the fastest because I liked it so much! The characters are well defined and the story is engaging! The narrator/performer did a great job and it was a pleasure just to listen to her voice.
