About this listen

Brighton, 1930: Maureen O'Connell is a carefree girl, but war is looming, and life will never be the same again.

Jack and Nelson have always been dear friends to Maureen. Despite their different backgrounds, they've seen each other through thick and thin.

The candle Maureen's always held for Jack burns bright, but just as she's found love, war wrenches them apart. With Jack no longer by her side and Nelson at war, can Maureen look to a brighter future?

i thoroughly enjoyed each book, following the journey of each character. i was surprised that the final book took us back in time, taking us through Maureen's early years but what a treat. loved it! I'm not ashamed to say that i had a few tears at the end.
