Final book in the trilogy of the Moon family in Scarborough. This one centres mainly on Tilly Moon, Maddy's stepsister, and follows the fortunes of the family through the first World War. Nice easy read and all the ends are nicely tied up.

I liked the premise of this story and would have enjoyed it more had the writing been better. The style was amateurish and over explained each characters thoughts. The characters should their emotions rather than speaking to each other in such artificial ways. Generally a conversation is two parts words and one part facial expressions and body language, people don't spell out their feelings to each other in every single sentence. The work ended up feeling artificial and unrealistic.

Absolutely wonderful story, really enjoyed this, a typical romance centred around the first world war and its effects on the actual people it affected and involved.
Told with sympathy and empathy for the characters and is rich in historical information within in the narrative.
