***************

The heartwarming third instalment of the Rivenshaw series from bestselling saga writer Anna Jacobs.

After a stray bomb scored a direct hit on his childhood home in Hertfordshire, the only thing that has kept Francis Brady going while he works day and night salvaging what he can from the rubble is the thought that soon he'll be joining war-time friends Mayne, Daniel and Victor as electrician in their new dream building firm in Lancashire.

But things are not going to plan: Mayne isn't answering any of his letters; Francis' wife is having a change of heart about moving up north - and her parents seem set on destroying his reputation...
A lot of marriages are breaking up in these times of change, and Francis is loathe for his to be one of them... But how can he turn down the opportunity of a new life and career in Rivenshaw?

Meanwhile in Rivenshaw itself, newly married Mayne and Judith's plans to convert Esherwood house into flats have come to an abrupt halt. While clearing out the house in readiness for the rebuild, they've discovered that someone has been stealing valuables and hiding them in the old Nissen hut. But who hid them there - and are they planning on returning for them? And are they also responsible for something else found in the shelter: a body, buried in a shallow grave...

With so much going against them, can these four friends ever turn their dreams into reality?

This is a wonderful story written by Anna Jacobs and very well read by Julia Franklin. I do hope there will be a sequel as it would be nice to hear what happened to the property developers and the lives of the characters.

Brilliant

My comments:

Really enjoying this series a lot, I will be sad to say good bye to the valley once I have finished book 4. I really enjoyed the 3rd book in this series and we finally met Francis the final part of the four friends. I loved how Dianna grew during the book and started to learn how to fit in and make friends with poorer people. I'm looking forward to book four and hope Daniel finds his romance.

Will be sad to say goodbye to the valley

All the books in the series unwind with different characters that blend with those before and the story continuously unwinds. At no stage is it tedious or boring but just pure magic.

The whole series is just one big delicious listen.
