It is the sort of book that warrants a sequel''I thoroughly enjoyed another great story from Mrs E, I couldn't put the kindle down '
I absolutely loved this, although Daisy frustrated me occasionally by not thinking of the most sensible thing for everyone when she had suggestions put to her. It showed the best and worst of parenting too - hated Irene's character, did mothers in law in those days REALLY demand answers from their daughters in law about when they planned to have babies, in the manner that Irene went about it??? I loved the character of Nora too, she had no actual family but was rich in company with Daisy and June's family.
Daisy and her 2 daughters find happiness in 1950's Nottinghill,England amid all the aftermath of WWII.Then Daisy's sister, who she separated from at age 5 in an orphanage, finds Daisy and together they find their father who is in jail for killing their mother. Did he really murder the mother or was he framed, the girls set out to prove his innocence after 20 plus years and along the way they find happiness and the joy of family!
A lovely story written by a great authoress ...thank you Pamela for sharing your book with me..I'm sure you will have great followings to buy your books kindest regards alicebooth9@gmail.com... Alice x
Enjoyed this book immensely couldn't put t down. In places it was predictable but still a good, relaxing read of a family living in London, giving a trip down memory lane to a fellow Londoner who grew up there but now lives a quiet retirement in Wales.
