Summary

‘There was no denying it, being cheerful was a challenge. You just had to be grateful for small mercies: a sunny day, a night without an air raid, an extra rasher of bacon from the butcher.’ England, 1942: 23-year-old Betty runs away from Bristol to make a new life for herself. Betrayed by her husband, Betty flees to the seaside town of Bournemouth, where she has fond memories of childhood holidays. There, she finds a small family bakery, in desperate need of a new shop girl … At the Barton Bakery, Betty finds a sanctuary with shopkeeper Audrey Barton, but Audrey is fighting battles of her own. Her husband is at war and in grave danger, she is heavily pregnant, and her customers are horrified by the demands imposed by rationing. Audrey’s stepsister Lily receives a letter from a man she once loved very much, a man she thought was lost to her forever. He offers her a new future with him, but one that will mean sacrificing so many of her hopes and dreams … As Winston Churchill tells the country to ‘never give in’, the women of the Barton Bakery struggle on to keep their families, homes and loved ones safe in a time of turmoil.

Another wonderful instalment from Amy............Thank you.

Oh what a story. Why did it have to end! They are all such wonderful characters. This author is my sit down I a big cosy armchair with a mug of coffee and my knitting. Just heaven on Earth. Now for the wait of Amy’s next wonderful book..........
And I have to say Julie Maisey is the best narrator for these books. She really has that magic that can bring the characters to life.

Lovely Story

This is the third book and after listening to the first purchased the rest. Couldn't wait to enjoy each of them. True to life family story during wartime, very well written. New to Amy Miller but I will certainly look for more of her books.

Poor narration

The readers narration is very elementary, as if reading a story to children. For me this detracted form the authenticity. A slight faux pas from the author was of ww2 having tea bags! they were not available until 1953 : )
