Summary

It is 1946, and with the war at last at an end, members of the Adams family who had been serving with the forces begin to come home.

Boots is reunited with Polly and their twins, his son, Tim, returns to the welcoming arms of Felicity, and with so many others coming back, Chinese Lady finds herself once more the watchful matriarch of the family. But grandson Daniel is still serving in an army unit out in Palestine, where he is caught up in life-threatening circumstances, and his American fiancee, Patsy, counts the days until his return.

intriguing Family

I love the Adam family novels, but would prefer that the holocaust was kept to documentaries, I think the author was venting his own feeling of the horrendous atrocities into this book. However all family stories great as ever.

WOW!

OH MY GOODNESS!
You have to read this book.
I don't know what to say as not to spoil it, but involves someone
you will love the most I think.
The suspense is nail biting.
Also, something else which will
shatter your nerves and mess
with your emotions!

Love the Addams saga

This one was a difficult listen at times with the details of the holocaust. When I started this series I did not know anyone could right so many books and maintain the quality. So far I have not been disappointed. Excellent narration as always. She really makes the books
