Harriet Poole was shattered when her brief affair with Simon Villiers, Oxford's leading playboy, ended abruptly, leaving her penniless, alone and pregnant. Still hopelessly in love with Simon, she took baby William and buried herself in deepest Yorkshire as nanny to the children of Cory Erskine, a somewhat eccentric scriptwriter.

A whole host of visitors began to arrive to disrupt Harriet's peaceful routine: first Cory's estranged wife, Noel, then his brother, Kit, and finally, of all people, Simon....

Oddly, I found this title when I was looking for books about Harriet Tubman! I had avoided it in my library for a while, because I wasn’t sure that I was in the mood. But when I started listening, I was completely surprised, and taken in by both the narration and the mixed up main character Harriet. A few times during my listen I was afraid it would descend into cliché but that never happened. Lots of surprises and humanity. Light but rich, like a great dessert.

Original characters and fantastic narration!
