Summary

The third book in beloved and best-selling Anna Jacobs' Lancashire-based Ellindale saga.

Lancashire, 1932.

Widower Harry Makepeace lives in Manchester with his sickly daughter, Cathie, scrimping and saving to get by. But after she suffers a violent asthma attack, the doctors say she must move to the clean, fresh air of the countryside to have any hope of survival. When Harry chances upon a patch of land for sale in Ellindale and an advert for a disused railway carriage that can be made into a home, he snaps both up quickly.

Harry swiftly becomes part of the community in Ellindale, making friends with the locals, and soon finds himself attracted to Nina, another newcomer to the village. Finally, he's found somewhere he and Cathie can build a new home. 

But their problems are far from over. Times are hard in Ellindale - Harry is not the only one struggling to find work. Then there's his old boss, who will stop at nothing to punish him for daring to leave. And Harry's already made an enemy in Ellindale - someone who could make his life very difficult indeed....

Fantastic series of books.

Another great book in this fantastic series. Really enjoyed all the books and can't wait for the next one in march. I have read all three books one after the other. This is a very good series of books and I would highly recommend it.

A real good listen!

Just as good as the first 2. I could not stop listening, so finished it much too quickly. Anna Jacobs is a very good author and Anne Dover, as usual delivered it all brilliantly!

Another great book

Always enjoys Anna’s books along with Anne’s brilliant narration. I find I can guess what’s going to happen early on but I still enjoy them and look forward to reading Book 4.
