Summary

England, 1799: A traumatized soldier returning to a derelict inheritance. A widow with a small son and a manipulative father.  

Major Matthew Southam returns from India, hoping to put the trauma of war behind him and forget his past. Instead, he finds a derelict estate and a family who wish he'd died abroad.   

Charlotte MacKinnon married without love to avoid her father's unpleasant choice of husband. Now a widow with a young son, she lives in a small Cotswold village with only the money she earns by her writing.   

Matthew is haunted by his past, and Charlotte is fearful of her father's renewed meddling in her future. After a disastrous first meeting, can they help each other find happiness?

the story was well written with interesting characters whose adventures I became engrossed quickly. Tha narration was well done, and easy to listen to. I also liked that the accent was British, even though I think k she was an American. I find it irritating when a story set in Britain is read with an American accent

Lovely story!

This story is about people, how life has changed them as they grew up. There is really no one important character, everyone has a part in the story.
The story starts slowly and gently flows along, taking you along the dips and highs.

A very gentle story.
