Some truths are too terrible to speak, and too dangerous to hide.
London, 1955. Nurse Helen Brent has spent twenty-six years believing she’ll never find love. Then she meets her new patient, David Edevane. Despite a tragic upbringing, David is kind and stable, and their whirlwind romance quickly leads to marriage and pregnancy. But Helen’s world collapses when she uncovers a dreadful secret, and she will carry the consequences of her silence for the rest of her days…
Present day. Archaeologist Quinn Allenby has seen countless ancient remains, but the tiny baby buried with tender care in a London garden affects her deeply. When she touches the pewter brooch left with the body, Quinn is drawn into a devastating mystery. But as Helen’s tragedy unfolds, Quinn’s family begins to fracture, and she discovers that some wounds run deeper than time itself. Can she confront the growing threat within her own bloodline before history repeats itself in the most devastating way possible?
A heartbreaking story of forbidden love, family secrets, and the dangerous power of blood ties, perfect for fans of Diana Gabaldon, Susanna Kearsley, and Barbara Erskine.

This instalment was, in some ways, equally good. However, this time the author seems to have given many of her characters burdens that were completely unnecessary to the main tragedy. Namely, the unfolding of the first disaster- discovered in an old tin at the back of a wardrobe, and unrealistic depths of Jo’s behaviour.
The information unveiled in the epilogue had been clear from the moment Helen fell asleep in the garden. As was the identity of “the driver”.
A couple of glaring factual errors - in the 1950s beautiful Bournemouth was In Hampshire, it was moved into Dorset in 1974. Also, in the 1950s people in Britain used sheets and blankets, duvets didn’t appear until the 1980s.
BUT, even though the disaster level was over egged, it was still an enjoyable listen. Gladly the narrator was back on form, after the ghastly “Spanish accents” in the preceding book.
If you have listened to the previous books in this series, I recommend you listen to this one too, but don’t jump into it if not - it just won’t make sense.
Not as good as the previous books in the series.

It saddens me that this series is coming to an end, I will no longer get to visit with Quinn & Gabe, Alex & Emma.
If you haven’t started this this series go grab it now, it is well worth it.
Wendy again has done an excellent job narrating this story.
Unnecessary tragedy

However thé the other saga of Quinn and the family histrionics is getting rather daft.
It’s probably the time I would call this a day, but there is only more book in the series, so I will see it out.
Historical saga great, the rest ?
