About this listen

To save Casterglass, all the Penryn children will need to return home, rebuild their lives among the ruins, and find love that has proved elusive…

The Penryn family have always been eccentric—living in a dilapidated castle in the wilds of Cumbria with an orchid-mad father and a classicist mother who likes to re-enact Greek myths, who wouldn’t be? Penniless and proud, patriarch Walter Penryn resists selling his birthright and family legacy until taxes, bills, and the need for a new roof force him to reconsider.

Well-heeled Londoner Althea Penryn doesn’t expect a divorce and job hunt over the Christmas holidays, but her husband claims he’s done and the prenup is solid. She packs up her reluctant teenage children and heads home to Casterglass Castle to confront the ghosts of her past—including the real one her mother claims lives in the old guard tower. And then there’s her unexpected romance with local sheep farmer, John Braithwaite, who is everything her adulterous, solicitor ex-husband isn’t.

This Christmas, amid the renovation and potential heartbreak of losing her family home, can Althea find a new purpose and the happiness that has so long eluded her?

Lovely story about friendships and new beginnings. Even when things seemed bleak happiness could be found back at home.

Festive, light hearted and warming story.

I enjoyed the story from start to finish. It kept me engaged and I can’t wait to hear what happens to the characters next.

Thoroughly enjoyable tale

I actually downloaded this because I love the narrator who also narrates the Lady Hardcastle series. It was a lovely story, likeable characters and the Cumbrian countryside was beautifully described as a backdrop to the story. I have already downloaded the next book in the series.

Enjoyable!

Although it's out of my fave genre zone, this was quite a tender listening to create the mood for Xmas.

Lovely book

Absolutely loved the book. The only downside is that the narrator couldn't pronounce Keswick correctly. It grated on me every time she said it. I would've thought these things were checked before narration commenced.

Fabulous!

This started with the MC being rather whiny, and I wasn't sure I wanted to finish it, but, it was expiring at the end of the year and I was reading it for a book challenge.

I really actually enjoyed it though.
There was quite a bit going on between everyone, and now I want to read more of the series, to see how it all works out.

Enjoyed it

Loved the weight of the story, enjoyed the feel good factor being dyslexic I find writing these reviews very difficult wish we could write less.
I have enjoyed most of the Kate books.
Happy to look at the next book
