Summary

In the aftermath of a heartbreaking accident, Kirsty is shocked to discover that she has inherited a vineyard in Western Australia from Ed James, a lonely old man she befriended at the library. But there is a condition to his legacy: Kirsty must give up her quiet life in England and live at the vineyard for a least one year.

How will a shy librarian cope on her own in a strange country? As she is forced to take her life off hold, one thing is certain, everything is about to change for Kirsty.

genre change

found by accident I liked the sample opening premise and narrator.
story unfolds around human greed envy and jealousy, how this impacts those who want to live a normal honest life, and how it can change people.
I found it intriguing, there are many sub-plots too not just kirstys' story, her brother a social oddity, eds' great-nephew, sams' family, fully rounded believable characters.
narrated very well with the changes of accents.
very enjoyable and pleased to have found.

Let down by narrator

I really like Lisa’s Armytage narration, however I always struggle when she performs young characters. Kirsty sounded like 50 year old women and a really dull one. Overall the storyline is ok. Something that does not affect you or leaves you emotionally drained. I guess it also makes it easily forgettable.

A well read and unusual story

A chance encounter, an inheritance, a move abroad sets the scene for a love story about healing and standing up for yourself.
It touches on the challenges of neurodiversity, rural living, and the damage inflicted by narcissistic parents.
The narration was well paced, with good accents and intonation.
I enjoyed this tale

Anna Jacobs never fails to deliver

Narration could have been better, distinction between male and female voices was weak, as were the accents.

Lovely summer read

This book is very predictable but having said that still enjoyable. The main characters have their own sub plots which makes the story interesting. The narrator is brilliant. Although not usually my sort of novel I really enjoyed this book and will certainly listen to more by this author.
