Über diesen Titel
A feel-good story of new beginnings set in a gorgeous country village.
'A lovely story of finding yourself and discovering what home means. I couldn’t stop turning the pages. Loved it.' Jessica Redland
After losing her job in New York, Amber Green isn’t looking forward to visiting her godmother in the sleepy village of Cranbridge. With its empty lanes and rundown shops, it’s hardly a place to mend her lonely heart.
But when Amber discovers that Cranbridge Stores, owned by her godmother Cathy and son Josh, is under threat of financial ruin, she realises that her skills as a window dresser might just be able to help save the struggling shop.
When disaster strikes, Amber and Josh must unite to save both the shop and the village from flooding.
Can Cranbridge Stores become the heart of the village once more?
And as the village begins to come back to life, perhaps Amber will discover a reason to stay…
A feel-good listen perfect for fans of Katie Fforde and Milly Johnson
'Glorious escapism. Uplifting, heartwarming and joyful, Alison Sherlock writes with a warmth and lightness of touch' Kerry Fisher

I was looking for a cozy, lighthearted audiobook, but this left me feeling more annoyed than anything else.
I mean, 95% of plot could stay same even if Josh and Amber were siblings. That tells you everything about the romantic tension, and makes the “heartfelt” declaration at the end feel all the weirder. Absolutely unearned and forced.
Speaking of forced, let’s talk about how Amber’s past is brought up—which is to say constantly but only as info dumps that don’t actually impact her as much. Her supposed inner conflict feels tacked on and, honestly, I’ve seen the same issue handled with mich more nuance, complexity and authenticity in Middle Grade novels. Being the bland, „pure“ character that she is, she behaves more like a twelve or thirteen year old as opposed to a grown woman who had to navigate NYC on her own.
The novel is also full of (internalized) misogyny. Why is it always that women who pursue careers are two-dimensional monsters lacking empathy? The cartoonish villain, which comes in late and exists fast, made me queasy for how unrealistic it was. The triumph, once again, felt unearned and silly.
TL;DR there are plenty of cute cozy books that still have depth, this ain’t one of them.
Not worth it
