In 1914, Britain faces a new kind of war. For Edward and Beatrice Hunter, their children, servants and neighbours, life will never be the same again.

For David, the eldest, war means a chance to do something noble; but enlisting will break his mother's heart. His sister Diana, 19 and beautiful, longs for marriage. She has her heart set on Charles Wroughton, son of Earl Wroughton, but Charles will never be allowed to marry a banker's daughter.

Below stairs, Cook and Ada, the head housemaid, grow more terrified of German invasion with every newspaper atrocity story. Ethel, under housemaid, can't help herself when it comes to men and now soldiers add to the temptation; yet there's more to this flighty girl than meets the eye.The once-tranquil village of Northcote reels under an influx of khaki volunteers, wounded soldiers and Belgian refugees. The war is becoming more dangerous and everyone must find a way to adapt to this rapidly changing world.

Goodbye Piccadilly is the first book in the War at Home series by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles, author of the much-loved Morland Dynasty novels. Set against the real events of 1914, Goodbye Piccadilly is extraordinary in scope and imagination and is a compelling introduction to the Hunter family.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Loved this story and really looking forward to the rest of the series. Penelope Freeman is a perfect narrator, she really bought the story to life and her accents for the different characters are excellent.
I see the next book is on Audible - I hope Audible continue to have the whole series. Sadly The Morland Dynasty, also by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles has stopped at Number 18.

Lovely Story - Superb Narrator

Wonderfully written, and beautifully narrated. A little slow to get going, but nice characters, brought to life by the narrator.
Easy to pick up. And a pleasant listen.

A wonderful introduction to a saga I know I'm going to love. at first it took me a while to remember who was who but a story filled with rich characters who just come alive. Very much helped along by lovely narration. If you loved Downton and enjoy a good escape into a romantic wartime saga then look no further. Now I must go and download the next instalment!

Narrator was pleasant to listen to but the story was slow, uninspiring and lacked substance. Had to return it.
