About this listen

 A mile outside the Cotswolds, everyone knows everyone in Honeystone, and for many years the villagers have lived quiet, steady lives. But a wind of change is here...

Anthea is the new owner of Spindle Hall. A renowned perfumer who lost her sense of smell, she's not interested in making new friends. Yet somehow that seems impossible in this idyllic village.

Years ago, Peony left Honeystone with a broken heart, and now she has returned with it freshly bruised. Her single father, Robert, is struggling with slow business at the Hare and Thistle pub. Perhaps this time they can help each other?

Izzy has never known what she wants to do in life other than be at Raspberry Hill Farm and care for her little niece, Clover. But when a new doctor shows up in town, she starts to wonder...

Really enjoyed this story, the tale of three (and more) women meeting in a small rural village. Fairly easy listening apart from the coercive control relationship. I really felt like I knew all the characters and was rooting for them all. Some very important life lessons too! I’ve written some of it down so I don’t forget it. One in particular about spending time with people who practise self care and know who they are as people, to help you heal.

The narrator was good and easy to listen to, but I just wish she’d differentiated between some of the characters more. Sometimes it wasn’t clear who was speaking.

Utterly lovely tale of friendship and life
