About this listen
Constance Mansfield had a perfect life: a successful writing career, a beloved daughter, a beautiful home, loving friends, and perhaps, most importantly, her privacy. But after Constance is killed, her grieving daughter Sutton begins to unravel her mother's secrets amidst the grief of unexpected loss. And it seems that Constance's privacy was not for her protection, but for something - or someone - else entirely.
As Sutton struggles to answer the questions about her mother's emotional walls, she finds herself craving the comfort of her past. A past that includes Declan Treadwell. But for all the relief Declan could bring, he's the last person Sutton wants to see. Forced to face both the pain of lost love and the mystery of her mother's complicated life, can Sutton emerge stronger than before? Or will life's tragedies be her undoing?

At times stern, at other times patient, at times perceptive, at other times in sad denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores the changes in her little town of Crosby, Maine, and in the world at large, but she doesn’t always recognize the changes in those around her: a lounge musician haunted by a past romance; a former student who has lost the will to live; Olive’s own adult child, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and her husband, Henry, who finds his loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and a curse.

A GREAT READ
TEA AND PRIMROSES is the second book in the Legley Bay series. Each will stand on its own, but I strongly recommend reading both of stories that have been released thus far. I have enjoyed them.
A romantic suspense that spans a lifetime, Sutton’s lifetime, it is written in the present and in the last manuscript of her mother. I loved the way that they story switches from Sutton and Declan’s present to Constance and Peter’s past. I loved the emphasis that life is a circle and loss will be recovered. I was completely engrossed in this story of second chances, family, friendships, relationships, loves, losses, tragedies, and emotions.
This is more than a murder mystery. It is a life lesson, a reminder of true love’s joys and sacrifices. It is second-chance romances and “it’s never too late to live your dreams.” It’s every good wish we have for each other and should have for ourselves. This is why when Tess Thompson has another book available; I will want to read it.
Narration: S.L. Crawley is an extremely talented narrator. I love listening to her. She does pronounce a few words differently than I, but that could be regional (e.g. stifle and Adirondack).
Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy via getfreeaudiobooks.com, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
