Brilliant!

A cleverly written story, unfolding over a number of years and beautifully told. The intrigue of the story keeps the reader engaged right to the last page! Loved it! Highly recommended .

brilliant

loved it, beautiful love story. Would listen to it again. Just wonderful. X x x

Porth???? Where???

Enjoyed this book but kept being jolted back to reality everytime the narrator attempted to say Porthleven ... it is leven like eleven not leaven !!! As it is quite central to the story I wish this had been spoken correctly!

Apart from this a very enjoyable story.

Disappointing - struggled to get to the end.

I'm Cornish (as are several generations of my family) so mispronounced place names really grate on me! Didn't warm to the narrator's voice, very 'matter of fact' in some places, whilst in others the falling pitch intonation at the end of each sentence, even those in speech, was very tedious. Sounded like the narrator was bored reading it in places.

amazing storyline

Nell and Van are thrown into each others lives by their parents love for each other.
they are not brother and sister and not half brother and sister,
age five they declare they will marry.
age ten years and vans mum dies much to early and van is sent to Australia to live with his dad.
every five years they meet up and every time obstacles are thrown in their paths to keep them apart.
will they ever get together?

One of my most favourite Paige books to date

Absolutely fantastic listen set in Cornwall.
Easy and enjoyable narrator, wonderful story- completely lost in this book.

Pleasant story!

Nice light hearted easy listen! The story is pleasant and uniquely written revisiting the 2 main characters every 5 years

A different love story

Loved it, kept me wanting more and enjoying their story.. Sad how life turns out

Enjoyed the start and middle

the end was a bit protracted. I think the author was trying very hard not to make the end predictable.

asides from the end I found the story symmetric with the next generation almost about to live their lives like the previous two.

it's a good story, easy listen, lovable characters
