awesome as usual

loved it!! Surprise after surprise and a happy ending! Can't wait to read another one!

Lots of twists and turns

Very much liked the story line. Lots of characters that were well described. Some very happy moments, but lots of sad ones as well. I had no idea where it was all heading, but I very much enjoyed the final outcome. Great performance! I definitely recommend this book.

Excellent Audio

I so enjoyed The Secret, marvelous story. When it first started it's a little dry, but doesn't take long to really get you interested and interested in all the characters of the book. But a such surprising secret. How it's kept a secret still something happens. All comes out but there are more secrets that come about. I don't want to spoil anything fantastic book.

Narration is bloody perfection!!

A bit sappy, but generally held my interest throughout.
I really enjoyed first 1/3 and last 1/3
Middle I found a little tedious
The narration is excellent.

Amazing story and the reader is amazing

I live Kathryn Hughes books so far. I think this is the second I i have read and also enjoy Rachel Atkins narrating them

Good read

I enjoyed this book. Not as much as the previous books (The Key and The Letter), but it was all in all worth the credit and time spent listening.

Surprised

It’s not often that I get surprised with a twist in a story but this one got me! Loved it to the end.

Enjoyable Melodrama

The narrator was excellent as she spoke clearly and it was easy to discern which character was speaking at any given moment. There were many characters and they were all pretty well defined. However, their stories often ended with little detail or discussion. Also, at a critical point in the story it was unclear how the plot could have unfolded the way it did. Still, it was an enjoyable read/listen and I would recommend it to those who like Romance novels and light melodramatic stories.

Great Story

I really have enjoyed this book. Was a great story of love and family. I would for sure enjoy reading another book by Kathryn Hughes.

A Story of Life, Love, Betrayal, Heartbreak and Forgiveness.

I chose this rating because I felt that overall it was a good listen! Would've been a good read if id chosen that option.
I gave the story a lower rating because I guessed a couple scenarios before hearing, but there were a couple surprises too, so maybe they should offset one another.
The performance was really good!
Narrator did great job of relaying emotions of each character.
I recommend this book!
