About this listen

May, 1941

After a difficult few months, Castle's Café is getting back on its feet. And with Marianne's baby due soon, there is much to look forward to, despite the havoc that the war is wreaking on Dover.

Meanwhile, Bert Castle is recovering from the injuries he sustained during an enemy attack. And though he is plagued with nightmares, at least one good thing has come out of the incident: his friendship with nurse Dot Calloway.

But when Nellie, Bert and his sister Edie are summoned to give evidence at the trial of the woman who who shot Nellie's best friend, Gladys, they soon realise that Susan Blake will not be the only one on trial . . .©2025 Ginny Bell (P)2025 Bonnier Books UK

I love this book full of a family’s heart ache through the hard time of WW2 which are captured so well in this book. If you are reading this review I would recommend you start at the beginning with book 1 you will get to know and love the characters like me. I really hope there will be another chapter in this series, thank you Ginny Bell and the narrator is perfect.

I absolutely LOVED this book, No:5 in the Dover Cafe series. I am so very much looking forward to number six, and have pre-ordered it.
my Aunt and uncle lived in Dover, I spent many a school holiday down there and still go as much as I can, staying in the Premier Inn on the sea front.
Tinny Bell has captured Dover so well, I enjoy hearing the names of places and roads so I can picture it all in my mind when it's read to me. The narrator has a splendid voice and brings added excitement to the book, I hope she will read the next one too. Nothing to dislike about the Dover Cafe series at all. I would give 10 stars if I could.
