Summary

 The fourth novel in the Lancashire-based Gibson series by beloved saga writer Anna Jacobs.

In 1858 Annie Hallam has at last found complete happiness. She has three healthy babies and adores her husband Frederick. After years of struggling to make a living in the small Lancashire town of Bilsden, Annie knows she deserves to sit back and enjoy her life - after all, she's not yet forty, and still in her prime.

But worries - at first faint clouds on the horizon - are imminent. Frederick has been looking pale and ill lately. Her brother Tom hasn't moved on after the death of his wife. Rebecca, her half-sister, is longing for something more than her work in the salon. And William, her son, isn't happy at university. In spite of Frederick's gentle urging not to take the entire burden of the Gibson family on her shoulders, Annie can't help feeling concerned.

And something much more dangerous is looming - a threat not only to Annie's peace of mind, but to her life...

I have had a few books by Anna Jacobs and have loved everyone! The story line was great … the period it was set in was wonderfully researched …… and Anne Dover …….. well, she can narrate the Periodic Table and I shall buy it! All in all a superb combination of Anna and Anne!

Simply lovely!

Another easy 5 stars.

The 4th book in this series was like all the others amazing, I love following the journey of the Gibson family and really like the character development. I can't wait to read the last book in the series. It will be sad to say good bye to these characters however I would highly recommend this saga. The characters are well developed and Anne Dover reads the audio version really well giving all the characters their own voice. This has been a great journey to follow and it's been interesting learning howe the characters lived in those days.

Going to miss the characters in this saga.

Loved the story and have chosen book four as my personal finale for this saga!
The reason being is that the narrator in book five has been changed which has totally changed the whole tone of the story and has spoiled the continuity.

Fourth and last
