A Marriage in Middlebury

By: Anita Higman

Narrated by: Gwen Hughes

Charlotte Rose Hill has been serving up country delicacies, uniquely blended teas, and matchmaking advice for her quirky but beloved customers for more than 10 years. But for her, marriage seems like an elusive butterfly, always out of reach. At 18 Charlotte fell in love with a young man, Sam Wilder, but his family convinced her to walk away from their relationship. She did and then became engaged to another man, who later died before they were married. Now, more than a decade later, Charlotte finds that she still has feelings for her first love. Initially thrilled to learn that Sam has come home to Middlebury, Texas, Charlotte is devastated to learn that he’s brought someone with him: his fiancée. But all is not lost when the townsfolk decide to get involved. Will Charlotte and Sam find their way back to each other?

Narrator was fine. She used variety voice

Sometimes I felt like I just wanted the story to move on. overall I enjoyed it. Worth reading.

good listen

This was a pleasant story. A romance and very predictable but ok to listen too and had some positive points.

Something is off

it is good, a little slow. but it was missing something that would have made it 5 stars. I am not sure what it just fell a little short.

I love this book!

The story was interesting but kept you in suspense as to what the final outcome would be! It held my interest the entire book!!!

Thirty-seven year olds? No way.

I agree with another reviewer; it is unbelievable that the characters were supposed to be in their 30’s. I don’t know if it was the out dated prose or the “old” voices that were used to narrate, but something was definitely off. I felt like I was in a time warp that took me to a land where everyone was 60+ but posing as people in their 30’s. Very odd. The “tea” cottage and antique shop venue were cutesy but that just added to the “old” feeling. It would have been more believable if this had been written to take place in a retirement community with the main characters connecting in their twilight years.
