As many get killed and injured during WW1
it continues the story of the Hunter family, coping with grief and new beginnings.
beautifully narrated by Penelope Freeman, adding voices to the characters.
wonderfully written and executed.
definitely a must read. Can't wait to start the next in the series

Another Fantastic Novel

I'm so sad to have finished book 4 because I have about six months to wait for the next wonderful instalment. I will miss all the characters and their lives.

So sad I've finished

My only gripe is that the narrator doesn't leave a pause when changing scenes/paragraphs, so it can be a bit confusing when she starts on about something new without so much as a breath.
I am thinking how selfish Beattie is in this story and poor Diana is still so naive even after all this time. Love that cook has a bit of love interest in this one.

Great narration for characters as always.

Another compelling family saga incorporating in equal measure great historical moments from the period alongside the heartache and joys of life through the years of the Great War. Highly recommend.

Poignantly wonderful
