Summary
Jean Fullerton, the queen of the East End, returns with a wonderful new Christmas novel. Because in the darkest days of the Blitz, Christmas is more important than ever.
With Christmas approaching, the Brogan family of London's East End are braving the horrors of the Blitz. With the men away fighting for King and Country and the ever-present dangers of the German Luftwaffe's nightly reign of death and destruction, the family must do all they can to keep a stiff upper lip.
For Jo, the youngest of the Brogan sisters, the perils of war also offer a newfound freedom. Jo falls in love with Tommy, a man known for his dangerous reputation as much as his charm. But as the falling bombs devastate their neighbourhood and rationing begins to bite, will the Brogans manage to pull together a traditional family Christmas? And will Jo find the love and security she seeks in a time of such grave peril?

wonderful Story, awful narrator
I absolutely love these stories, but the narrator of this 2nd book completely ruined it.

Amazing story
I didn’t realise this was a continuation of a previous book about the Brogan family but I was pleasantly surprised.
The story about other members of the brogan family left me shocked,tearful and enthralled. I was totally gripped by all the twists and turns and was emotional at others.

Awful amateurish voices on a great story
Sadly I had to keep abandoning this as there was only so much of this narrators dialogue I could take. Instead of varying the way someone talks, using speed, tone, pace, another more subtle realistic ways of portraying a cockney accent, we were subjected to shrieking, shrill, parody accents.
Such a shame. I do hope they stop using the school or give her some lessons in how to pronounce words better. Also awful emphasis within a sentence, changing the meaning, from time to time. But Jean Fullerton is always excellent. I highly recommend call nurse Millie series.

Enjoyable listen
Normally I don't opt for stories based around the war era but choose this book after searching for Christmas titles. The storyline was great and although there were a few predictable chapters, the book is definitely worth a read/listen and has a good narrator. I will definitely look into more books from this author.

Poor narration
Book 1 was really great. Narration bringing the characters to life, but book 2, I struggled through. The narration didn’t give the characters dimension , I found it hard to listen to. I’ve only persevered as I’ve seen the next books are narrated by Annie aldington, who brilliant at bringing characters to life. I hopefully will enjoy the creative the series.

Ear plugs needed!!
A good story spoilt by a terrible narrator. So much shouting paracetamol were needed. Never listened to a story before that left my head pounding. I should have taken note of other reviews as a warning was there. Very disappointed.
