The final novel in the heartwarming Lancashire-based Gibson Family series by beloved saga author Anna Jacobs.

It is 1860 in Bilsden, the Lancashire mill town, and Frederick Hallam is dying. But first he makes secret plans to smooth the future path for his beloved wife Annie. Her sister, Joanie, is fed up with everything until a dshing new admirer crosses her path. But a spurned suitor is determined that Joanie will be his, whatever the cost. And he is not the only one who wants to harm the Gibson family.

Meanwhile the Civil War in America cuts off cotton supplies, so that times are hard in Bilsden and unemployment is rife. Annie had to rebuild her life after her husband's death and plans to create Spinners Lake, an extraordinary project that will keep her workers from destitution and assuage her own grief.

Tian Gilchrist is caught up in the American war and nearly dies there. He fights his way back to Bildsen, to Annie, whom he has never forgotten.

And the plans that Frederick made for Annie will change her life in unforeseen ways, bringing her hope and happiness once again...

The final book on this story (4) was as good as the first as the author really captured your attention. The one thing that almost stopped me listening to this book was the fact they had a different narrator. She hadn’t listened to how Annie and Frederick had been portrayed throughout books 1-3. Annie went from a well spoken lady , in beautiful gowns, to sounding like an uneducated mill employee. Dumpy and lacking deportment she had learnt as a ladies maid. Frederick went from a well spoken mill owner to sounding like an uneducated crotchety old man. That disappointed me. But I listened to the whole book and was glad I did to find out the ending.

Loved the story , not character representation

Having read all the Anna Jacobs books leading to this I needed to listen to the end. The narrator was not the same as previous books and I found her representation of many of the characters wanting. Annie’s voice was whinny instead of the usual confident authoritative voice of previous books. The male voices all sounded the same. I did not enjoy this book as much as the previous ones.

Poor narrator

I have loved all of this series - I’m very disappointed that the narrator was changed on the last book - it spoilt it somewhat!
Anne Dover is the best - this narrator altered the characters with her accent!

Great Story
