A YOUNG WOMAN WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE TIED DOWN

Dartmoor, 1914. Twenty-four-year-old Marianne Warrington is in danger of being left on the shelf. That's what her mother says and that’s precisely how she wants it.

She has her future mapped out and it doesn’t include marriage or babies. Instead, she vows to devote herself to rearing horses on her parents’ farm.

BUT HISTORY HAS OTHER PLANS

Then World War One breaks out and the Warringtons’ peaceful existence is shattered forever. Amid the chaos, Marianne seizes her chance to prove she’s more than just a spinster.

When her brother leaves for the battlefield, Marianne is determined to follow. She signs up to serve as an ambulance driver in war-torn France. There, she witnesses unimaginable horrors.

Yet there’s one face she can’t banish from her thoughts. It belongs to Major Albert Thorneycroft: a handsome and perplexing stranger who means more to Marianne than she’d care to admit.

WHAT IF FINDING HAPPINESS MEANS LOSING HERSELF?

As the war rages on, a battle ensues between Marianne’s head and heart, testing her resolve like never before.

I have listened to all the books leading up to this one. I feel like I have been through all the trials and tribulations the families have been through. Loved all the books.

Tear jerker

Once again I’ve enjoyed the next saga of these lovely stories and what I love most is how the characters of previous stories are still kept in so you can still hear of how their lives and journeys are going.
I guess my only criticism would be of the American accent which still sounded Devonshire but as they’re only in it but a short time then don’t let it put you off.
I look forward to the next book.

Same excellent listen as to all previous books

I’ve listen to the 6 Devonshire Saga books and enjoyed them all. The lives of the characters interlace as the years go on, The authors detailed research and descriptions of the practices of the times is incredible. The backdrop of wild and beautiful Dartmoor is palpable. I’m sorry to have finished the saga.

Cleverly interwoven
