Starting Over at Acorn Cottage

De: Kate Forster

Narrado por: Francesca Waite

A heartwarming, uplifting village romance for fans of Holly Martin, Tilly Tennant and Cathy Bramley.

Buying a thatched cottage in the country may not be the usual cure for a broken heart. But after Clara Maxwell finds out her boyfriend and best friend have been sneaking around behind her back, packing her bags and leaving everything in London behind feels like it's the only way forward. When Henry Garnett, her (rather handsome) new contractor, turns up with his little daughter Pansy and a van shaped like a cottage in tow, she isn't sure whether to laugh or cry. What on earth has she gotten herself into? Still, there is something strangely lovable about the people in the little village of Merryknowe, from Rachel Brown, the quiet, lonely girl who bakes magical confections for the tearooms, to Tassie McIver, a little old lady with a lot of wisdom and a penchant for reading tea leaves. With all the heartbreak of the year behind her, could Acorn Cottage be the fresh start Clara so desperately wants?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Charming and totally absorbing [...] I could not put this down!" (Holly Martin)

Wonder and poetic! A quiet masterpiece in its genre!

Like another reviewer, I was reluctant to finish this book it was so enjoyable. But instead, I finished it in one day! I couldn’t help myself. I was enthralled from beginning to end. What a joyful, deep and meaningful story! I highly recommend this novel.

Wonderful story. Narration of male characters not so good.

Story was excellently presented. Had to finish it, so I didn’t worry about what was going to happen!
 The narrator was excellent with all women’s voices and accents, but was not good with the male characters. I found it hard to listen to her interpretation of Henry’s voice. He sounded more like a country bumpkin than the strong male character he was supposed to portray.

Loved it!

The characters are very real…and you can see the writers imagery. The story is very entertaining and light. Really recommend!

So sweet!

I just loved this book! It was the perfect “getaway” that I needed!! Heartfelt and charming….I couldn’t stop listening.

varied female characters

i liked the overall story and evolution of the characters. i disliked the easy resolution of problems.

the descriptions of everything from the cottage to the gardens and bakery.

easy to follow stort line. not alot of characters to remember between where I stopped and started

Such a sweet book with unexpected twists and turns

I really loved this,book..there was an included Christmas Story that was sweet.so I looked for another book by this author. Sad it ended.

Easy and interesting

A leisurely listen. The narrator did a good job, easily understood even with her accent. Sweet romance.

Sweet story

Easy listen with a happy ending. All of the characters in the story are starting over in some respect.

The caring and forgiveness

That Moira got away with the abuse over the years and no one to help
