A Casterglass Christmas

Keeping Up with the Penryns, Book 1

By: Kate Hewitt

Narrated by: Elizabeth Knowelden

To save Casterglass, all the Penryn children will need to return home, rebuild their lives among the ruins, and find love that has proved elusive…

The Penryn family have always been eccentric—living in a dilapidated castle in the wilds of Cumbria with an orchid-mad father and a classicist mother who likes to re-enact Greek myths, who wouldn’t be? Penniless and proud, patriarch Walter Penryn resists selling his birthright and family legacy until taxes, bills, and the need for a new roof force him to reconsider.

Well-heeled Londoner Althea Penryn doesn’t expect a divorce and job hunt over the Christmas holidays, but her husband claims he’s done and the prenup is solid. She packs up her reluctant teenage children and heads home to Casterglass Castle to confront the ghosts of her past—including the real one her mother claims lives in the old guard tower. And then there’s her unexpected romance with local sheep farmer, John Braithwaite, who is everything her adulterous, solicitor ex-husband isn’t.

This Christmas, amid the renovation and potential heartbreak of losing her family home, can Althea find a new purpose and the happiness that has so long eluded her?

Feel good story!

I loved it! I’ve always been fascinated by castles, and the setting was perfect! At first I had a little trouble getting into the British accent, but it grew on me.

Lovely narrator made the story come alive 🦋

It ended … getting the next book quickly as I can I love all of Kate Hewitt stories

It’s not my cup of tea. Too much sadness.

I knew it was about a lady that was going to be divorcing her husband. I just don’t want to listen to sad story throughout.

This was good!

I like the new series by Kate Hewitt! Bit of a slow start and sad at first but really like the characters and where the story is going! Ready to read the next. Recommend
