Sarah #1-2
Sarah Morris
In these two quietly powerful novels, we follow the loves and trials of our heroine Sarah Morris in the lead up to, and aftermath of, World War Two. Decisive, resourceful and independent, Sarah faces challenges in love and friendship from those around her and the wider circumstances of the war as she travels across the cities and countrysides of England and Scotland.
Often described as gentle romances, D. E. Stevenson novels are neither overblown nor unduly tragic, populated with characters who quietly make those around them better simply because of their existence. Consistently satisfying, there is a good reason why Stevenson has amassed a devoted following.

A very sweet book
I've always loved D. E. Stevenson. This book is a love story between a husband and wife and a neglected child. It's a shame this book wouldn't be popular today.

The real deal
Ms. Stevenson’s book never grow old, can always be re-read and offer a world of laughter, tears and happy endings. Her books are the real deal - I admire her as I admire no other author!

Some plot elements were not very realistic, with inadequate explanation for the character’s decisions. I read these when I need a mental break and they are consistently fairly good.

I am a fan of D E Stevenson’s gentle novels. The Sarah Morris novels begin in the early 1930s and focus on Sarah Morris, the older daughter of an English vicar and his wife. As a young teen she falls in love with the Austrian schoolmate of her eldest brother. Through him, she discovers an interest in and facility with languages. The novels follow her development as she experiences love, the loss of loved ones, drastic changes in circumstances, the challenges of living in London during WWII, lengthy separation, and ultimately the ups and downs of family life.
Sarah’s values: her kindness, truthfulness, loyalty and deeply loving heart make her life a joy to read.
