À propos de cet audio

From the best-selling author of The Tuscan Child and the Her Royal Spyness series comes a beautiful, heart-rending novel of a woman’s love and sacrifice set during the First World War. The tender tale is exquisitely performed by Saskia Maarleveld, a narrator with over 325 audiobooks—including multiple AudioFile Earphones Award-winners—to her name.

As the Great War continues to take a devastating toll on the globe, Emily Bryce meets Robbie, a cheeky and handsome Australian pilot who is set to be deployed to the frontlines. After a whirlwind romance, the two fall in love and marry. After Robbie ships out, Emily volunteers as a land girl, tending to the neglected grounds of a large Devonshire estate. Not long after, however, Emily receives devastating news; Robbie has been killed in the line of duty. Grief-stricken, Emily—who has just discovered that she is pregnant—turns to an unexpected source of hope. In the pages of a long-forgotten journal from a medicine woman who devoted her life to the gardens she now tends, she finds not only comfort and solace—but perhaps a path to her destiny.

I enjoyed this book a great deal but I did find it went on and on in places. The story was interesting especially the information about herbal remedies. The narrator was quite good but in parts it was a bit hard to tell who was talking. An easy read though not very plausible

An Uplifting Story

I found it frustrating that all the men sounded the same, rough and uneducated no matter who they were.

A fair story, somewhat disjointed but mostly engaging.

I'm a huge fan of this author but this particular story is very weak. It's mild entertainment, well-performed if you are looking for some undemanding background, but the characters are weak, the storyline predictable and too pat. Not at all what I've come to expect from this author.

Not this author's best work

Interesting story of love and surviving through hard time. Love the book and enjoyed narrator reading. Looking forward to read more books from the same writer.

I have now listened to several books by Rhys Bowen and have really enjoyed the pacing , flavour and character development .
I enjoy the authors voice and the strong women that she creates! Looking forward to more.

Very please to find that there are many more novels by “Rhys Bowen” and her alter ego Janet Quin-Harkin

Solid enjoyable good read!

An absolutely charming novel with a wonderful cast of characters, and utterly superb narration. A most satisfying conclusion with an unexpected twist. This is the first novel by Rhys Bowen that I’ve read, but certainly it will not be the last.

Historical fiction at its best

Historically tone deaf, predictable, a few plot holes, inconsistencies and rather felt like a thirteen-year-old's daydream of the war period in England.

I do not recommend.

Not Great

The book had the potential to be a great story but terribly written and very disjointed.

Repetitive and badly written
