About this listen

When the Todds move into a flat on the Scotland Road, they are strangers to city life: their previous home was a canal barge. Harry gets a job as warehouse manager and his wife, Martha, works in a grocer’s shop whilst Seraphina trains as a teacher, Angela works in Bunney’s Department Store and young Evie starts at regular school. Then circumstances change, and Seraphina takes a job in Lyon’s Corner House. Customers vie for her favours, including an old friend, Toby. When war is declared, the older girls join up, leaving Evie and Martha to cope with rationing and the terrible raids on Liverpool. Meanwhile, Toby is a Japanese POW, working on the Burma railway and dreaming of Seraphina....

Loved this and didn’t want it to end!

A cosy saga. I enjoy Anne Dover’s narration of this type of story. Came across her first with the Lilian Harry Burracombe series so checked out what else she had read. the narrator can make or break a book for me. I’m glad to say this lived up to expectation. I would have liked a few more chapters but I won’t spoil the story by saying why!

Good book!

I wasn't sure at first, but that is probably because I wanted to read some really good books in my library. But when I got into it, I enjoyed it very much. The narrative was very good as always with Anne Dover.
