    About this audiobook

    From the number one New York Times best-selling author Jojo Moyes, the story of a young woman who finds new meaning in life after opening an eclectic shop and comes to terms with the secrets of her past.

    In the '60s, Athene Forster was the most glamorous girl of her generation. Nicknamed the Last Deb, she was also beautiful, spoiled, and out of control. When she agreed to marry the gorgeous young heir Douglas Fairley-Hulme, her parents breathed a sigh of relief. But within two years, rumors had begun to circulate about Athene's affair with a young salesman.

    Thirty-five years later, Suzanna Peacock is struggling with her notorious mother's legacy. The only place Suzanna finds comfort is in the Peacock Emporium, the beautiful coffee bar and shop she opens that soon enchants her little town. There she makes perhaps the first real friends of her life, including Alejandro, a male midwife, escaping his own ghosts in Argentina.

    The specter of her mother still haunts Suzanna. But only by confronting both her family and her innermost self will she finally reckon with the past — and discover that the key to her history, and her happiness, may have been in front of her all along.

      Loved this story!! It’s the 3rd Moyes book I’ve listened to. What a story-teller!! I found the transitions between chapters and character voices to be a bit abrupt—hence the 4 stars—but with just a tiny bit of re-listening, I got the nuances Moyes so deftly develops.
