About this listen

In this life-affirming tale from bestselling author Amanda Prowse, one woman built a new life to escape her humiliation. Now, can she put the shame behind her and finally find happiness?

Young and desperately in love, Merrin had the whole world ahead of her. But just as her new life was about to start, the ground beneath her feet was cruelly swept away. Devastated by the humiliation, she ran far away from the beloved fishing village she had always called home to lick her wounds and escape her gossiping friends and neighbors.

It hasn’t been easy, but six years later Merrin has forged a new life for herself far from the sea, burying the impulsive girl she once was. But when tragedy strikes, she has no choice but to return to the village she swore she’d never set foot in again.

Reluctantly back in the arms of her community, Merrin begins to realize what she’s been missing out on all these years. As she begins to remember the person she used to be, she is forced to make choices about her future, and to question the past. What does she want from her life? Who is important to her? Who is to blame for everything that went wrong? And can she forgive them, let old wounds heal and finally be her true self again?

To Love and Be Loved, a wonderful story which was so easy to love, laugh and cry with.

The characters were so beautifully developed that it was easy to be carried along this wonderfully crafted story.
I chose to listen to the Audible version performed perfectly by the author.
The story was yet another by Amanda Prowse, beautifully crafted easily taking you along all facets of the character’s lives.
I will certainly listen again and would encourage you to read / listen to this too.

Great audible book for my walks to work

I really enjoyed this story and I particularly enjoyed the voice and accent that Amanda used when reading the story, I did feel like I was in a village on the Cornish coast.

Good story

Loved the story and when in character the narration. But struggled with the time of narration when it was not a character. Sounded a bit depressing. Great story and good characters.

Thoroughly Enjoyable

I felt totally immersed into the lives of the family, I enjoyed the perspective the author gave to love lost, striking a chord in my own life but gave me grounding too as I also continue to ‘just be’
Excellent Listen, would recommend
