About this listen

 Victoria Macara is 27 and lives alone in the old house on the corner that was once home to the family removal business. When the land is sold, she finds herself surrounded by a small estate of new properties called Victoria Square. The newcomers who move in around her bring with them their own dramas. The mismatched Kathleen and Steve are lovers with broken marriages behind them; Rachel is attempting to escape from a terrible tragedy; upper-class Sarah arrives with her children after running away from an abusive husband; while Anna and Ernie are just after a quiet life. For Marie Jordan, Victoria Square is a refuge from the men who murdered her husband; for Judy Moon, it means a fresh start after 40 years of marriage to a man she'd thought she'd love forever. But it is to Gareth, trapped in a hopeless marriage, that Victoria is particularly drawn. When Rachel decides to hold a barbecue, the scene is set for confrontation, truth-telling, and the revelation of long-held secrets that will touch the lives of all these characters.©2004 Maureen Lee (P)2014 Audible, Inc.

This is an older book of Maureen Lee's, and not my one of my favourites.
Although the narrator was good (except for her American accent), I would rather have had one of my favourite narrators, a lot going on in this and alot to remember if you have got a good memory!

Not my favourite Maureen Lee books!

I loved the way the characters were weaved into the story. This author reminded me of Mave Binchey

Haven’t we all walked past a house and wondered about the people who live inside?

This book is all engulfing, I could hardly bear to stop listening. The characters and writing drew me in and rescued me from my stressful life. I only recently discovered audio books and now cannot imagine life without books like this.

A fabulous read
