About this listen

From bestselling author Lizzie Lane's Cottage Hospital series

Times are changing as secrets unfold…

Somerset, 1931
Doctor Frances Brakespeare continues to settle into her new life in rural Somerset at Orchard Cottage Hospital, striving to improve the medical treatments on offer to the community.

After successfully establishing a mother and baby clinic, Frances is determined to move with the times and add family planning advice to her roster – but are the residents of Norton Dene ready for such progress or will she face opposition?

In her personal life, her relationship with the Reverend Gregory Sampson becomes her safe haven whilst battling with an embittered family relative in London. As always, Frances strives to honour the values inherited from her late benefactress Izzy Brakespeare.

As further dark family secrets and sins unfold, it seems the Brakespeare family name will have more resonance to Frances than she ever imagined and when a stranger enters her life, Frances may finally have the answers she has always sought.

Perfect for fans of Rosie Clarke, Fenella Miller and Patricia McBride.

Had read the first book some time ago, but enjoyed the sequel which explained the back story if needed. Well narrated by my favourite narrator Anne Dover, and the story kept me listening. Look forward to the next one.

Great story that keeps you interested

A satisfying hospital romance from 1931 and easy to listen to too. It should be televised.

I enjoyed all of this. The depth of the story, so well thought out, - tends me of Elgar music- slow and soft- louder at the end.ending on a flourish
! The books remind me of how far we have come in the last hundred years.Modern concepts dealt.with sensitively. I could not put the audible down- I.hoped for a third book.

The very good storyline and my favourite narrator Ann Dover. What more can you ask for? Get the book and treat yourself. It can be enjoyed in its own right, but I would advise you get book 1 first. Don’t deprive yourself of another excellent listening experience.

Throughly enjoyed the second helping! Can't wait for the next one! I love a good love story

Great story

Overall I really the storyline however I found the repetition of several elements within the story frustrating. I understand that to anyone who hadn't listened to the first book may need some things explaining but not to go over things 2 or 3 times. The main character was an incredible woman and it would have been amazing to meet a real life version of her. I will be reading up more about Marie Stopes following this listen.

Beautiful narration and historical features.
