Summary

It was June 1916 when Sergeant Boots Adams of the Royal West Kents, together with his men, was billeted on the Descartes farm in Northern France. It was a short break from the turmoil and horror of the trenches, and Boots and his men, in return for their free billeting, were to help the farmer in his fields. It came as something of a surprise to discover that the land was being managed by a young French war widow, Cecile Lacoste, and, to the distant sound of guns, a brief wartime friendship flared between Boots and Cecile. The friendship was cut brutally short when, once more, the West Kents were called back to the trenches and Boots suffered an injury that was to take him home to London, to Sammy and Chinese Lady, and all the valiant cockney friends of Walworth who were to help him through the darkest period of his life. It was to be many years before Boots' friend, Miss Polly Simms, visiting the old battle haunts of France, stumbled once more upon the Descartes farm, and the memories of the past were rekindled.

I can’t wait for the next book for my next credit, or if Amazon are doing one of those special deals on audible, then I can download several more books in the series. It is like watching the soap opera in this place, listening to us and has become very much part of the family. I’m just love hearing what’s going to happen next

Wonderful

I nearly didn't listen as I couldn't see how it would fit into the series. Such a heart warming book, I laughed & cried. Brilliant series, I wish I could take to Polly's character. Brilliantly written & read. Thank You.

So glad I got this book.

yet again a great story and very interesting branch from the main characters but at the same time keeping them all in the picture. I just wish you could get them in the plus catalogue as they're addictive.

just brilliant!
