**************************************************************************************************
BEHIND SEEMINGLY HAPPY FAMILIES, ANYTHING CAN LIE HIDDEN...

The Rising sisters - the Daffodil Girls - are older now. The anguish of growing up in the twenties has gone. All three are - apparently - happily married and there are children to swell the vibrant Rising family.

But the problems that had begun in youth still remained.

March , the eldest and the most difficult, loves but cannot trust her clever, manipulating husband. He deserted her once and she has never quite forgiven him.

May has her own worries - a son who seems more than usually promiscuous, and a husband who grows more attractive and handsome even as she approaches her fortieth birthday.

April has a husband she loves, and two small, gentle daughters. But she is the only one who knows that Davina is not her husband's child.

As the country heads towards unsettling times, can they find the strength and unity they'll need?

Bluebell Windows is the third book in the Rising Family sequence and is followed by Rosemary for Remembrance. The story began in A Scattering of Daisies and The Daffodils of Newent.

Reviews

[Lynn Smith · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5* Bk 3 in this saga of the Rising family. An engrossing inter-generational drama now moving on through the 1930s.
Engaging characters, well plotted storyline and overall, a good romantic historical drama series. Had to carry on to the next book to see what happened to the characters and was sad to leave the Rising family behind when I finished the subsequent novels, it felt like saying goodbye to friends.
