About this listen

The escapist, romantic bestselling listen from Saturday Kitchen's Helen McGinn!

'I was hooked from the start and raced through to the end, rooting for Martha the whole way. Wonderful' Sara Lawrence, Daily Mail

Martha is the youngest of three sisters and, in her mid-thirties, has the dubious honour of being the only one to call off a wedding at the last moment.

Now, feeling as if she’ll be single forever, and trying to keep her low opinion of her sister Iris’s fiancé to herself for risk of looking bitter, Martha needs a change of scene.

When she is given the opportunity of a holiday to Paxos it seems too good to turn down, though the idea of travelling alone is daunting. And when the trip to the Greek island gets complicated, Martha wonders if this has all been a mistake.

But soon the island and its residents start to work their magic on Martha, and when she meets single father Harry and his adorable son Milo, a new way of living is revealed in contrast with the drab routine of her life back home. How can Martha leave behind the warmth of the people, the freedom and the fun, not to mention Harry and Milo when it’s time for her to go home…

Let Helen McGinn magic you away to a world of sunshine and serenity, romance and relaxation. Perfect for fans of Erica James, Carol Kirkwood and Karen Swan.

Lovely story, made all my dog walks extra special, that then ended up that little bit longer.

Liked the story.

Disliked the narrator’s voiceover. Much too childlike and high pitched for me.

Summer read

I really enjoyed Helen’s writing…another great story .., only criticism is it ended all too soon 🥲

Kept you guessing

I really love Helen’s books. Easy reading but enough complication to keep your mind working. Makes you want to get on a plane and spend a summer abroad. Gorgeous characterisations and enough twists and turns to keep you interested until the last word.

No real surprises in this book, but I enjoyed it so much anyway. Another story of love, broken hearts, and those random moments in life where fate seems to land in our laps. Really enjoyed coming back to the next chapter, and would recommend for some summer escapism.

A lovely sunny piece of escapism
