About this audiobook
Lonning Parish holds the standard ingredients for a great romance: a youthful woman with strong opinions of marriageable age, a helpful best friend offering few obstacles to the heroine’s plots, and, of course, a young man who draws admiration everywhere he goes but is decidedly fascinated with the heroine.
Naturally, the story of Miss Katherine Caroll has a bit of a snare. Even in her small parish, there are two handsome men vying for her attention: a virtuous vicar with angelic looks and a smart-mouthed gentleman who is the very picture of devilish handsomeness. As Miss Caroll’s heart is torn between them, we learn the stories of other friends in the parish, like the Widow Tigney and her healing heart, and Mr. Duke and his permanently broken one.
The lives of Lonning Parish intertwine and teach Miss Caroll lessons, but will she learn them in time to capture a happy ending, or will indecision make the choices for her?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Although, the stories are short and there’s no love story ending but that’s how life is. We don’t get everything we want but we make the best of what we have. The stories were beautiful stories. I enjoy listening to the reader.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved the First segment and wished they were all more like that one. Tragic, frustrating but hopeful ending. More Brontë than Austen.
