Millie Appleby, a farmer’s daughter, hopes to make a positive difference by becoming a surgeon. While working towards her goal, a devastating break-up with her first love Giles, threatens to derail her. When at eighteen, she swaps her sleepy Sussex village life for the bright lights of London to study medicine, she attracts the attention of the very suave and sophisticated Zane, who has so much to offer.
Returning home for the holidays, Millie meets musician and former recording artist Ben, but his unconventional past sounds alarm bells for those around her. As the weeks, months and years go by, several unexpected revelations throw Millie into an emotional turmoil, struggling to decide who to choose, what to believe, and in the end, whether she is able to trust again.
From the author of ‘A Year at Marshywood,’ comes another classic tale of love and loss, longing and laughter. Once again, Marina McLune’s unique style offers up a generous sprinkling of musical nostalgia, natural world beauty and cultural references from days gone by.
It’s time to head back to the 1980s!

Reader’s reviews:
I was absolutely riveted with the story, I just had to know what happened next and I listened to the novel in 24 hours.
Marina McLune will have you laughing and crying as you experience the social differences between urban London and rural Sussex through Amanda’s eyes in the late 70’s. Her writing style will have you emotionally invested into what will happen with Amanda and the relationships she holds dear. A definite page turner..
A Year at Marshywood" is a compelling and emotionally resonant tale that will captivate listeners from beginning to end. McLune's evocative storytelling and Scott's masterful narration ensure that this audiobook leaves a lasting impression. This lovely, gently paced tale tells their story over 12 months, and is very nostalgic if, like me, you were around at that time. Highly recommended!!
God is love.
