Publisher's Summary:
Having given up a high-powered job, Tessa Hainsworth had no idea how hard she would struggle when she fulfils her dream of moving to Cornwall. Within months, she is almost ready to return to London: the family is running out of money fast.
But a chance encounter in the local post office leads her to accept the unlikeliest of job offers as a post woman. She starts in midwinter, faced with the Christmas rush, a temperamental van, a host of unfamiliar routes and the locals and their animals.
But, over time, she learns to love a wonderfully colourful cast of characters until the whole community takes her to their hearts and at Cornwall becomes home.
Members Reviews:
Loved it
I absolutely loved this book. Hadnt realised it was written about Authors actual experience in Cornwall. Hope theres more to come
Enjoyable, easy read
light and entertaining, easy to relate to characters. read during first visit to Cornwall, and felt it helped me th understand a little about the local culture, including some of the challenges from living in that beautiful place. I came away as enchanted with the scenery as the author had been.
Boring
Anna Bentinc can do better but she was annoying. Male voices are awful.
Couldn't continue listening!
a year in cornwall.
Any additional comments?
after a high flying job becomes too much for Tessa the decision is made to move from London to cornwall to start a new life.
Tessa becomes a postwoman and this is the story of her first year doing the job.
I thought this would be interesting, an enjoyable book, which it was over the first 5 hours but the second five hours became tedious as it seemed to go over the same ground again. the ending saved it.
Not quite my cup of tea
Up with the larks, is a sweet story about life in the countryside, and all the village goings on. Lacked a little substance for me, but easy to listen to and the narrator ok.
