About this listen

In 1941, the United Kingdom was in desperate straits, standing alone with its troops against the colossal war machine of Nazi Germany. There was always Prime Minister Winston Churchill, however, who growled his defiance to Hitler and induced in his people a determination to endure.

The Adams family shared that determination and their own kind of optimism. Emma went happily into her marriage with Jonathan, while Boots' son Tim, in between his hazardous exploits as a Commando, helped his fiancée, Felicity, in her courageous fight against blindness, the result of a terrible injury in the bombing. Rosie Adams was due to marry Matthew Chapman from Dorset, but Chinese Lady was unsure about it. He seemed a fine enough man, but what with a lame leg that prevented him from doing his bit for his country, and the uncertainty of his garage business, she felt that he was hardly the ideal choice for such an eligible young woman as Rosie. As for Boots and his new wife, Polly, they came up with some very unexpected news for the family.

Love all of this books sometimes though I feel that the author shouldn't keep on reminding us of what happened, I'm sure if most people have got this far in the serial we know what happened to Emily ect..
I'm glad that the narrator has been kept the same throughout the serial as well as changing narrators in a serial of books can be very annoying as some narrator's can change some characters to be unrecognisable.

Brilliant book

I know this series is about the war and Great war (1stww), but
there was too much about it in
this book as far as I am concerned. Also too many deaths and injuries, but that's what it's meant to be about.
The Adams family and outer members and friends suffered
too many injuries etc.

As good as the rest!

Am addicted to these stories, still don't like Polly & it would be interesting to see someone else moving in on Boots as she did. Such an amazing family.

What can I say, I am addicted

For a series MJ S managers to bring in fresh stories all the time, having lived through the 2nd WW in London I can say it's very authentic. posh Polly is growing on me, though I'd would rather that the author killed her off not Emily

excellent
