Once, they had it all. Now, a family must struggle with poverty and tragedy, with the prospect that life will never be the same again.

But tragedy strikes the family once more when unmarried Kate is left pregnant...

I bought this book from a charity donation box and honestly I have never been so pleased from an impulse buy. This story is written over the period of the first and second world war, it tells the tale of a family and their lives across three generations. It is so moving and delightful to witness their journey. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction, romance and coming of age stories. For me, this book will stay on my bookshelf and will be re-read many times.

I love Pamela Evans books!
I love the way she takes you back to the war days in England so you feel you are living it.
The characters are all loveable. The shopkeepers, neighbours, workmates, school mates, etc are all described in so much detail and have such warmth between them that you can't put the book down.
