Reviews

[Angela Rigley · Rating 5 out of 5]

How could I not love this story set in my favourite place, The Lake District? The descriptions of the area really brought the area alive for me. I can't wait to read more from this author.

[Eileen Wood · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found it a really easy read and one that I didn't want to put down. It gave me more insight into how young women's lives changed over the First World War period when more men went to fight and the women had to take up work and other duties to cover for the lack of labour during this period. Also gives a good insight into the lives of some of the upper classes and how they dealt with the war.

Personally I enjoyed this book.
