About this listen

 Everyone knows her life story.
But who will win her heart?

Gertie has always had her head in the clouds, wondering what her life might be like if she could only pluck up the courage to leave the remote Scottish island where she was born.

It's the only place she knows, but you can't do anything there without everyone knowing - the glue of this close-knit community is the Knitting Circle, a group of strong, capable and frankly nosy women who work hard, gossip, knit and support each other through thick and thin. At the centre of this sisterhood is Gertie's mum Jean and her grandmother Elspeth, and the three generations of women live together, surrounded by wool, in one small cottage.

When the chance comes to make changes - a new job working with old schoolfriend Morag on the local airline, new friends and even a possible new romance - a world of possibilities opens up before Gertie. Is this the way to make her dreams come true?

Fifteen million copies sold. A readership that spans the world. It's time to fall in love with Jenny Colgan.

Charming, comical and, unusually for such a tale, an adventurously, exciting climax. Worth the credit!

Great listen

A good mix of action and romance. Great descriptions of scotland at its best and worse.

Just a lovely gentle book

I’ll admit, I really didn’t like the FMC until about 75% of the way through but she fully redeemed herself at the end! It might have been quite predictable (as most romances generally are!) but it was a “fun romp” in the Scottish highlands.

Such a sweet story
