In this warm, witty novel, the village of Eden Hill is full of family conflicts, marital misunderstandings, and small-town secrets... Musician Ben Wilde and his bride, Lisa, return from honeymoon, only to have their lives disrupted by Lisa's demanding mum, who's moving in while recuperating from a shoe-related injury-and Ben being summoned for a newly scheduled European tour. When Lisa befriends her neighbour, Rosemary, who's also home alone while her husband travels for work, the women wonder if their men are faithful. But will their grim suspicions be confirmed, or has absence made the heart grow paranoid? Meanwhile, in the village, the coffee shop is under new management with the arrival of divorced mum Chloe and her troubled teen son, Jake. But serving flat whites leaves Chloe feeling empty until she meets Caleb, a widowed father of two. If only Jake and Caleb could get on... Then there's Jan and Martin Bevan, who are new to Eden Hill-but a frosty reception leaves them wondering if they've made a huge mistake. As the little community struggles to sort out its problems, it becomes clear that Eden isn't always paradise... This audiobook is narrated using advanced digital voice technology for clear, natural-sounding storytelling.
