About this listen

A secret lies buried at the heart of her family - but it can’t stay hidden forever.

When Cara stumbles across a stash of old postcards in the attic, their contents make her question everything she thought she knew.

The story she pieces together is confusing and unsettling, and appears to have been patched over with lies. But who can tell her the truth? With her father sinking into Alzheimer’s and her brother reluctant to help, it seems Cara will never find the answers to her questions. One thing is clear, though: someone knows more than they’re letting on.

Torn between loyalty to her family and dread of what she might find, Cara digs into the early years of her parents’ troubled marriage, hunting down long-lost relatives who might help unravel the mystery. But the picture that begins to emerge is not at all the one she’d expected - because as she soon discovers, lies have a habit of multiplying....

Revised edition: This edition of Postcards from a Stranger includes editorial revisions.

Captivating

The narration was spot on. The story was VERY believable and clearly drew on what would seem some ‘lived’ experiences and trauma from a childhood lacking in love and care. With a feel good sense of belonging that the relationship between Cara and Beth has, as well as the bond with Mrs P. And subsequently a life partner in the form of Simeon. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Postcards from a stranger

I just loved this book. It was beautifully read by Henrietta Meire. Interesting and emotional with an intriguing storyline. Gentle. Makes one want to write. Makes one want go to England again. I really enjoyed it.

Good story spoiled by narration

Unfortunately I found the voice of the narrator a bit irritating and dull. I found myself nodding off many times and having to rewind. It took me nearly twenty hours to get through this one. I enjoyed the tale though, and persevered to a satisfying end.

Great story

I really enjoyed this book. The narrator did an excellent job and the storyline was very entertaining. So pleased they added the epilogue- it provides closure for the storyline and balanced out a very good book
