Publisher's summary

Everyone knows her life story.
But who will win her heart?

Gertie has always had her head in the clouds, wondering what her life might be like if she could only pluck up the courage to leave the remote Scottish island where she was born.

It's the only place she knows, but you can't do anything there without everyone knowing - the glue of this close-knit community is the Knitting Circle, a group of strong, capable and frankly nosy women who work hard, gossip, knit and support each other through thick and thin. At the centre of this sisterhood is Gertie's mum Jean and her grandmother Elspeth, and the three generations of women live together, surrounded by wool, in one small cottage.

When the chance comes to make changes - a new job working with old schoolfriend Morag on the local airline, new friends and even a possible new romance - a world of possibilities opens up before Gertie. Is this the way to make her dreams come true?

Fifteen million copies sold. A readership that spans the world. It's time to fall in love with Jenny Colgan.

The narration totally adds to the book.

I really enjoyed getting back to this part of the world. We meet up with Morag again and get to know Gertie who takes on a job at the airport. So far she has not been lucky in love but she is about to be tested and found that in a tough situation she is able for the task. The way the narrater voices the characters and gives just the perfect emphasis to a sentence, highlights the humour. The author and narrator make a great pair for these Scottish setting books. I wouldn't read a Colgan book any other way.
