The first novel in the heartwarming and gripping new Jubilee Lake series, from million-copy bestseller Anna Jacobs

Lancashire, 1895. When her controlling stepfather suddenly dies, it seems that Elinor Pendleton finally has a chance of freedom. But her hopes are soon dashed when she learns that the thuggish Jason Stafford has inherited every penny, and is determined to have Elinor too.

Forced to flee with her beloved maid, Maude, Elinor finds shelter with Maude's distant cousin in the remote village of Ollerthwaite, on the shore of Jubilee Lake.

But Walter Crossley has troubles of his own. Having lost his closest family in a tragic accident, he needs one of his grandsons to return from America to inherit his farm - and when practical, kindhearted Cameron arrives, he appears to be the perfect heir.

But is this young man everything he seems? And will Elinor's secret wish to have a family of her own ever come true...?

In Silver Wishes Anna cleverly introduces the main characters then brings them all together as the story builds leaving you to speculate how it is going to play out. It draws you in from the start, but be prepared for twists along the way. An absolutely brilliant read

As usual a brilliant Anna Jacobs book. Very enjoyable. However it is spoiled by an awful narrator. Her voice pitches is volume from a normal level to a barely audible whisper. Constantly! At times I really struggled to hear what she was saying. Still an excellent story though.

Great book but........

The story is good (although a bit similar to others, where the step parent dies and the girl is evicted and the pursued by a Randy cousin etc). The narrator kept referring to the grandson of Mr Crossely as his nephew which got a bit confusing at times! Still love Anna Jacobs books.

Narrator seemed confused!

As a Lancastrian living far from my Burnley roots I found joy in Catherine Harvey's warm and natural narration.
The plot predictably forcast the story ahead . The characters were either good or bad and finally good triumphed over the desires of the wicked.
A comfortable read as our friends enjoyed their drinks of tea. Not a coffee machine in sight!!!
Way out of my usual choice of books I thought that I would be bored.
Instead I was relaxed and smiled, hearing kindly intelligent folk speaking in the remembered accents of my childhood.
An escape from modern hype.
Sentimental review?
Certainly.

Heart warming simplicity

Another lovely story by Anna Jacobs. Anna's books make easy listening and whilst often predictable are books I always enjoy.
The narrator was good but often some of the men sounded like women which was a bit confusing. The sound was fading at times even though my device was on full volume. I'm always listening to Audiobooks so this was unusual.

Anna is Tops
