Publisher's Summary:

From the best-selling author of the Sarah Midnight Trilogy comes an instant classic - a beautiful and poignant love story about letting go and moving on.

Eilidh Lawsons life has hit crisis point. Years of failed fertility treatments, a cheating husband and an oppressive family have pushed her to the limits. Desperate for relief, she seeks solace in the only place shes ever felt at home - a small village in the Scottish Highlands. There, Eilidh slowly begins to mend her broken heart but soon learns she is not the only one in the village struggling to recover from a painful past.

Jamie McAnena, Eilidhs childhood friend, is trying to raise his daughter Maisie alone. After Maisies mother left to pursue a career in London and Jamies own mother, Elizabeth, passed away, he has resigned himself to being a family of two. But sometimes there is more to a story than meets the eye.

Despite their reluctance, curious circumstances keep bringing Jamie and Eilidh together. For even when it seems all is lost, help can come from the most surprising places.

Daniela Sacerdoti was born and raised in Italy but has lived in Scotland for the past ten years. She holds a degree in Classics from the University of Turin and has taught Italian, Latin and Greek. She is also the author of the paranormal YA books The Sarah Midnight Trilogy.

Critic Reviews:

A fabulous book. Watch Over Me is a poignant and beautifully crafted story...pretty impossible to put down. (9/10)(Novelicious)

This has got to be the most touching and emotional book I've read this year. Watch Over Me is such a delicate and beautiful read that you can't help but fall into the storyline from the first page. (5/5) (Reabookreview)

One of the best books Ive ever read. This is a book that deserves to be read by everybody... An amazing debut novel from this magnificent writer who I am sure is going to be a massive success with, I hope, many more novels on the way in the future. (Kim the Book Worm)

Members Reviews:

Loved the story and loved narration

Would you listen to Watch Over Me again? Why?

I will definitely listen to the story again in a bit. The story was capturing and I have related to it. I loved Helen McAlpine narration and her ability to use different accents. She is brilliant and she is definitely part of the success of this audiobook.

What about Helen McAlpines performance did you like?

Brilliant. One of the best. I will certainly look for books read by Helen :-)

a bit more than just a love story

I found the author's thoughts on the afterlife interesting. It was predictable, but enjoyable non the less.

Twee and cosy, like a magazine story

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Not worth the listen. Storyline too predictable from early on. There were plot twists and turns, but direction still obvious. Too many descriptions of people's clothing and outfits.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Art world was unconvincingly portrayed: would an agent really drive up from London to rural Aberdeenshire to a gallery opening? Would an artist donate a work of considerable value to an Oxfam shop? The fictional town of Glen Avich is very strange. For a start, every one has blue eyes, apparently. Not a single character is mentioned as having brown eyes. Even with inbreeding, that would be truly remarkable.
