About this listen

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Forgive Me, a compelling story of a daughter uncovering her mother’s secret past from the No. 1 bestselling author, Lesley Pearse. Read by the actress Alison Dowling.

Cheltenham, 1991, when Eva Patterson returns home from work one day, a devastating scene awaits her. Her mother, Flora, lies dead in the bath. Beside her is a note saying only: “Forgive Me”. Eva is shocked to find out that her mother was once a successful artist back in the 1960s.

When she visits her mother’s old studio, she finds a collection of Flora’s paintings and diaries. Searching for answers, Eva encounters a psychic who mysteriously warns her to beware of a “sleeping serpent”, which she soon discovers refers to a shocking crime in Flora’s past. Will discovering the truth destroy Eva’s belief in everything she holds dear?

A really wonderful story with lots of unexpected events. A grown up fairy story, but a little too much happening in last quarter. But an easy listen

You couldn’t make it up!!

A sad story to start with and I thought I had made a mistake buying it. But after 3 minutes I was into the story and could not stop listening. A wonderfully woven story with surprises in store. Almost a feeling of a thriller and I wanted to know what was going to happen next. Good I had lots of sewing to do so had a good excuse to listen. Am now starting from the beginning again. I want to hear the bits that I missed last time. Really recommend this book.

I usually enjoy Lesley Pearses books, the story of the mothers life was good. But I found the main character too slushy & a bit sickly to be honest! I don't know if it was made worse by the narrator who sounded childlike at times. Maybe just not to my taste!

Not for me

I found this far fetched and soppy, not my type of book. The narraters voice was a bit nasally and irritating at times. But, for sitting in the garden in this glorious sun doily embroidery , it was ok and in a funny way, enjoyable.

What did you like most about Forgive Me?

I like the fact that the book are filled with drama without being 'Barbara Cartland'

What was one of the most memorable moments of Forgive Me?

It is difficult picking out a memorable moment as there are so many but Eva finding out about her real mother is one of them :-)

Which scene did you most enjoy?

While I enjoyed the whole book. I did feel pleased about Eva finding back to herself in Italy.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

I very much enjoy the writings of Lesley Pearse. I like the resemblance to 'real life' where not everything has a happy ending.

Forgive me for being entertained ..

Eva is the first to find her mother when she commits suicide leaving a short note saying 'forgive me'. Her mothers death leads to other revelations and sets Eva on a path to discover more about a mother that she never really knew. It's an enjoyable mystery.

Enjoyable mystery
