About this listen
How can a meek wallflower help a returning war hero whose dreams are plunged into darkness?
Mary Bloomfield has no illusions. Her chances for matrimony have long since passed. Still, her circumstances are pleasant enough, especially now that she has found purpose in assisting her father with his medical practice in England's beautiful Lake District. Even without love, it's a peaceful life.
That is until Adam Edgerton returns to the sleepy district. This decorated war hero did not arrive home to acclaim and rest, but to a new battle against the repercussions of an insidious disease. Mary's caring nature cannot stand to see someone suffer - but how can she help this man see any brightness in his future when he's plunged into melancholic darkness?
Adam wants no charity, but he's also no coward. If this gentle woman can work hard, how can he do less? Together they struggle to find a way forward for him. Frustration and antipathy slowly develop into friendship and esteem. Then a summer storm atop a mountain peak leads to scandal - and both Mary and Adam must search the depths of their closed hearts for answers if they hope to find any future path with happiness at its end.

Heartfelt
A well-crafted story of faith, perseverance and personal growth attained from facing and overcoming adversities. References/prayers to God were appropriately peppered in the protagonists' thoughts throughout the book, and whilst wholesome, it isn't a religious one per se. Rather, to contrast personalities without any overbaking, the author cleverly portrayed typical societal norms and pretences of Regency country life where the community would gather in church for Sunday prayers, only to gossip and judge fellow parishioners every other day beyond its hallowed walls.
I've come to adore Mary Sarah's performances once I realised the extent a tweak to reading speed could have upon my listening enjoyment. This one was splendid at 1.20x. Please try to do so before giving up. Mary has a true gift for expressing emotion and bringing characters to life.

A very good story line spoilt
The story was very good but sadly the readers interpretation made it very difficult to continue listening. At the start it was as if she was reading poetry with far too much play acting in her voice. Very grating i kept saying just read the words the listener will then let their own imagination work. I persevered to the end as the story progressed the readers main voice was limited.
