Summary
The first fascinating part of Joanna Toye's delightful trilogy about life in Ambridge. Covering the years 1951-1967, Family Ties introduces the main characters: Dan, Doris, Phil, Christine, Jack and Peggy and their children, Walter Gabriel, the Fairbrothers and Tom Forrest. The early years are action-packed: Phil's courtship and marriage to Grace and her tragic death; his subsequent marriage to Jill and the birth of their children; Jack's drinking problem and later, the birth of Jennifer's illegitimate baby. Miriam Margolyes, a life-long Archers fan, brings the characters and the village of Ambridge vividly to life in this abridged reading.

So enjoyable. The backstory is invaluable to me, as a huge fan of the radio soap. Highly recommended.

Fabulous
Excellently read by Miriam Matgoyles. I learnt so much about the history of the characters. It has really helped me understand some of today's storylines better because of this.
