Acerca de esta escucha
A compelling and heartwarming set of four short stories by Mary Grand.
"The New Arrival"
Rachel has moved to the Isle of Wight determined to become invisible. Hiding a shameful secret, she cultivates a cold polite smile as effective as an electric fence. However, unexpectedly, into her life comes a loving, crazy, individual: Lottie the cocker spaniel. Everything is about to change.
"Belonging"
Megan works in a theatre for the deaf. She is deaf. Her language is British Sign Language. One evening, she meets John, who is hearing, and two worlds collide. This is the story of the struggles, joys, and tears of their remarkable relationship.
"Catching the Light"
Erin thinks she has found her fairytale prince. However, the honeymoon in a remote cottage in Wales shatters the dream. For the first time in her life, Erin discovers the mystical world of fairies.
"The Outing"
This was to be the most important day of Kay's life. However, her mission to be free from years of guilt reveals so much more than she could possibly imagine.
Mary Grand's writing has been compared to Kate Atkinson, Adele Parks, Maeve Binchy, and Diane Chamberlain, amongst popular contemporary women's authors.
An easy listen.

Life is hard enough for a teenage girl in 1950s suburbia without having a mother who may—or may not—be a witch. A single mother at that. Sure, she fits in with her starched dresses, string of pearls, and floral aprons. Then there are the hushed and mystical consultations with neighborhood women in distress. The unsavory, mysterious plants in the flower beds. The divined warning to steer clear of a boyfriend whose fate is certainly doomed.

Ginger Mallowan embodies everything the 1980s stand for, from big hair to power suits to "Material Girl"...until her son disappears during a beach walk one night. That's the moment girls don't want to have fun anymore, and the moment she starts hunting for answers. Now Ginger's hair is a bit flatter, her power suits packed into the attic, and her dance steps to Madonna lack the energy of better days. She hasn't found—or forgotten—her missing son, and she's only survived the grief thanks to her neighbor and keeper of secrets, Tara Christie.

Mabel Beaumont’s husband Arthur loved lists. He’d leave them for her everywhere. ‘Remember: eggs, butter, sugar’. ‘I love you: today, tomorrow, always’. But now Arthur is gone. He died: softly, gently, not making a fuss. But he’s still left her a list. This one has just one item on it though: ‘Find D’. Mabel feels sure she knows what it means. She must track down her best friend Dot, who she hasn’t seen since the fateful day she left more than sixty years ago.
