Summary
He never meant to stay. He certainly never meant to fall in love…

Summer Island off the coast of Norway was the place London chef Jack Greene should have been from. He’s an outsider in the community that should have been his family, and now he’s setting foot on the strange land he has inherited for the first time.

Ninni Toft, his nearest neighbour, has come to the island to mend her broken heart. With her wild spirit and irrepressible enthusiasm, she shows city-boy Jack the simple pleasures of island life – and what it means to belong. To a place. To a people. To one person in particular…

Home is where the heart is, but is Jack’s heart with the career he left behind in London, or on the wind-swept shores of Summer Island, with Ninni?

Nice book and fun to listen to.I wonder if there'll be more stories about that island.

An easy to listen to light hearted book. I enjoy this book and loved how it ended. Could have been covered in a short book.

I found this very boring and from the first encounter of the main female character, I was put off by her condescending attitude.

great book

As someone of Norwegian descent, I enjoyed the story. I found the narrator's lisp distracting

Beautifully descriptive and well written. I love the views that that author described and could almost see them!

It was hard to understand the accent

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2025

I really liked this book. Made me want to just slow life down and appreciate the small things. Bravo

A lovely gentle love story that I thoroughly enjoyed

Profile Avatar Jamie Sep 2024

Not much substance in this story, nor was it very exciting. Just a simple predictable love story.

Profile Avatar Valerie B. Aug 2024

Nice story. Not very exciting.

Profile Avatar Marti Aug 2024

This was such a delightful story about real life, love, and unexpected circumstances. One might want to jump right into the middle of it all to become a part of the community.

The narrator would be excellent, but I have a hard time to understand somebody with a strong rhotacism. Instead of the "r" sound, she uses "v", or "w", which often changes the word's meaning. I am not an native English speaker, maybe that is why it is difficult for me to guess, what she really means. Interestingly, after like 15 minutes, I get used to how she says words. But when I return to my listening in a couple of days, my struggle starts again. I would not buy another book with her narration.

Bright and uplifting book for the summer

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2024

It is fine it you are wanting a simple, basic love story. It needed more substance, a deeper plot, more attraction to make it a more interesting read.

Profile Avatar SuzieK Jun 2024

Fun summer read with a twist.

Profile Avatar SuzsyQ May 2024

Enjoyed the story. was a new idea and story line for me. Enjoyed it very much

Profile Avatar Carol M. Apr 2024

A nice predictable romantic story. I enjoyed the descriptions of the life and scenery on the island in Norway. The narrator's rhotacism speech pronunciation was a bit distracting but I got used to it.
