About this listen

Esther has shut herself away in her vine-covered manor house on the top of a hill for as long as she can remember. Everyone in the village whispers about the scandal that broke her heart. She has cut herself off from the world—until now. Now, she needs help uncovering the mystery that has plagued her for decades …

On a sunny spring day, 18-year-old Bruno is in the local library when he spots an advert. The old lady on the hill is looking for internet lessons, and Bruno sees his chance. Forever the outsider, he can’t wait to escape the sleepy village—the paid position could be his ticket out of there …

Everyone has secrets…but are they saving or destroying you?

Davies has a lovely way of writing heartwarming stories with equally endearing characters. Esther is a spitfire and I enjoyed her relationship with Bruno a lot. There are some great themes throughout. I recommend this book if you like feel good reads. It put me mind of Fredrik Bachman.
