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?

Enjoyable!
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.

Fabulous!
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.

Feel good story
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

Predictable
A bit predictable but a good tale for all of that. Enjoyed listening to it.
