Summary

The start of a wonderful NEW series from bestselling author Rosie Clarke - prepare to meet the Talbot family and Blackberry Farm

Cambridgeshire. March 1939

As the clouds of war begin to gather in Europe, the Talbot family of rural Blackberry Farm will be torn apart, just as so many families all over the world will be. Life will never be the same again.

Whilst in London, the Salmons family will feel the pain of parting and loss.

Brought together by war, the two families become intertwined and, as the outlook looks bleak, they must draw on each other’s strength to fight through the hard times.

Lizzie Johnson and Tom were sweethearts until a mistake caused a terrible rift. Lizzie takes herself off to London to heal the pain in a glamorous new job but she still loves Tom. His pride has been hurt – but deep down inside Tom still cares.

Can they find happiness before their chance is gone and the whole world is swept into the terrible madness of war?

A heart-warming saga following the lives and loves of those who live on Blackberry Farm in the rural Cambridgeshire

Perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Fenella J Miller and Patricia McBride

Can’t wait to start the next book in the series🤩

Loved this book from start to finish. Narrator Claire Morgan was excellent & helped bring characters alive. Rosie Clarke is a 1st class author and her books fall into the can’t stop listening category for me. Well done Rosie & Claire for another excellent listen.🥇👏🏻👏🏻

I didn't....

think much of the storyline I found it quite predictable. I found the narrator wasn't good either.

A lovely story

I enjoyed this story but I didn't enjoy the narrator's voice (Claire Morgan) she seemed to be stopping and starting and she did pause too long in places it seemed like she wasnt familiar with the book at all.
The story was good as I do like stories set in these times, but I will make sure I don't listen to anymore books that Claire narratates.

Narrator spoilt

I just couldn’t get on with narrators voice it just was patronising and the emphasis of grammar was not always correct. I didn’t complete book and will check narrator in future . I would not buy a book with this narrator.

could not listen to this audio book.

I could not get into this book at all. The narrators voice was far to young for a war time book and really grated on me. Took me back to school days.
