About this listen
Everyone knows her life story.
But who will win her heart?
Gertie has always had her head in the clouds, wondering what her life might be like if she could only pluck up the courage to leave the remote Scottish island where she was born.
It's the only place she knows, but you can't do anything there without everyone knowing - the glue of this close-knit community is the Knitting Circle, a group of strong, capable and frankly nosy women who work hard, gossip, knit and support each other through thick and thin. At the centre of this sisterhood is Gertie's mum Jean and her grandmother Elspeth, and the three generations of women live together, surrounded by wool, in one small cottage.
When the chance comes to make changes - a new job working with old schoolfriend Morag on the local airline, new friends and even a possible new romance - a world of possibilities opens up before Gertie. Is this the way to make her dreams come true?
Fifteen million copies sold. A readership that spans the world. It's time to fall in love with Jenny Colgan.

The adventure that showed Gertie’s courage.
The story started very slowly but gained pace to a riveting climax. I enjoyed the humour of the writing.

joyful, tender and lyrical, with lovely touched of humour
An absolutely beautiful novel, a kind of sequel to Summer Skies, but with a different character at the centre of it. With gorgeous descriptions of northern Scotland, lively, believable characters, fabulous suspenseful scenes in a snowstorm, and a warm, tender atmosphere with a light touch and sense of humour. Fantastic narration, too, that really draws you into the world of the book. Highly recommended.
