A Lantern in the Window

De: Bobby Hutchinson

Narrado por: Melanie Hastings

Ever wondered what it might be like to be a mail order bride? Or the groom, already married to a woman he's never laid eyes on?

On the Canadian prairies in 1886, having a mail order romance wasn't unusual. Noah Ferguson desperately needed help on his farm. Annie Tompkins knew she couldn't go on working in Lazenby's cotton mill. So she'd been a little less than honest in her letters, was that really so terrible?

It was unforgivable, Noah fumed. He'd wanted an older widow, and Annie was a young virgin. But even that wasn't the full extent of her lies.

Problem is, Noah hasn't exactly been straight with Annie, either, and his secret has the power to break Annie's heart.

Can even a special Christmas gift make their marriage work?

Sweet old school romance

This was a really sweet story. I loved the quaint homey feel it had to it. Even though Noah and Annie get off to a rocky start I liked how they didn't just give up like people do now. Melaine did a wonderful job narrating. Her sweet soft voice fit this story perfectly.

Selfish man!

Main male character was selfish & emotionally abusive. Main female character was kind& giving. I do not recommend.

Love by mail order

This book was enjoyable and lovely to read. A love story about wounded hearts in the old west.

HORRIBLE narrator!

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

The story is sweet. But I couldn't finish it as the narrator sounded like an Automated phone call. Couldn't stand it. Production quality was very poor also.

A Beautiful Love Story

I got this book from audiobook boom. This was a quick fully developed love story. with all of the full meaning of the words. There was trepidation, angst, death, new life, lost and a strong snow storm as well as the love of a set of sisters for each other that extended to an old man who had lost his ability to speak but learned what it was to continue to love because of the sign language that the deft sister taught him. I loved the ending. The narration was very well done and brought the story alive.
