Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Where The Light Gets In by Lucy Dillon, read by Karen Cass.

The inspiring, life-enhancing and evocative new novel from the bestselling author of
A Hundred Pieces of Me and All I Ever Wanted. 'No one tugs at the heartstrings quite like Lucy Dillon' Red magazine

‘You know those cracks in your heart, Lorna, where things didn’t work out, but you picked yourself up and carried on? That’s where the fear gets out. And where the light gets in.’


It was Betty, defiant to the end, who sent Lorna back to Longhampton. If Lorna’s learned one thing from Betty it’s that courage is something you paint on like red lipstick, even when you’re panicking inside. And right now, with the keys to the town’s gallery in her hand, Lorna feels about as courageous as Betty’s anxious little dachshund, trembling beside her.

Lorna’s come home to Longhampton to fulfil a long-held dream, but she knows, deep down, there are ghosts she needs to lay to rest first. This is where her tight-knit family shattered into silent pieces. It’s where her unspoken fears about herself took root and where her own secret, complicated love began. It’s not exactly a fresh start.

But as Lorna – and the little dog – tentatively open their cracked hearts to old friends and new ones, facing hard truths and fresh promises, something surprisingly beautiful begins to grow around the gallery, something so inspirational even Lorna couldn’t have predicted the light it lets into her world . . .

Lovely book & knitting chat

I love Lucy's books and couldn't wait for this to come out. As a Knitter myself I was thrilled that it opens with knitting that continues through the whole book, what a bonus. Loved the story and the doggy fun.

Absolutely loved it!

Brilliantly read, fantastic characters & a story that you feel a part of. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly emotive but with a positive spin. Loved seeing the evolution of the characters too, I feel I know them. Can’t recommend highly enough, & again, beautifully read.

Light hearted story.

Loved listening to this story eventhough it was predictable. Sometimes it is just what you need. The male voices were a little of putting but it didn't matter.
