Critic reviews

"I'm a Carole Matthews addict!" (Mary Berry)

"A gorgeous novel that will delight." (Katie Fforde)

A FABULOUS AND SWEET STORY!!!

I have always been a fan of Carol Matthews.This book was fabulous and it gave me all of the feels!! I smiled and I cried and I laughed throughout this entire story because it was absolutely so reliable and so sweet.

Usually love Carole Matthews but....

This story had great possibilities. Unfortunately, the personality of the heroine completely spoiled it for me. By about 1/2 way through I was listening in astonishment at her selfish idiocy. Seriously. There are two hours left, though, so maybe she'll finally use the brain I've seen glimpses of. Even her seeming generosity and care of her son is selfish. It's all about her, though I'm sure she'd be astonished to hear someone say that.

On the other hand, the narration is great!
