Winter and Rough Weather

Written by D.E. Stevenson

Narrated by Lesley Mackie

Rhoda, an artist from London and her childhood sweetheart James finally wed, following a lot of deliberation—particularly on Rhoda’s side. Her love for James outbalances her career and she takes the plunge into living the life of a farmer’s wife at Boscath farm in Scotland. Arriving at Boscath, they employ a cook, Miss Flockie, who is exceptional in her duties and more importantly, a friend to Rhoda. Their new home, although quaint, is isolated, and Rhoda misses her life in London. With James tending to the farm, Rhoda impulsively decides she will start painting again and finds inspiration in her beautiful surroundings. Their marriage is strong and both James and Rhoda rise to the challenge of their life in rough weather.

Reviews for Winter and Rough Weather

[Frances O'Connor · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Really enjoying this author. Her stories are engaging, insightful, educational, and very well written.

[Carol Sorensen · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This for me isn't one of Stevenson's best. There is a real reach for the happy ending. The voice actor is over all very very good but for one character she keeps clearing her throat and it takes one out a bit. Very gentle and at times made me laugh out loud.
