Summary

London, 1939.

As war is declared once more, a shadow falls over Britain. The staff at the luxurious Buckingham hotel must do all that they can to keep their important guests happy, but behind the scenes, they are scared. Away from the glitz and the glamour of the ballroom, they must face this new reality.

Newlywed Nancy knows that her brave husband, debonair dancer Raymond de Guise, will want to fight for his country and enlist. She loves and supports him but is heartbroken at the thought of them being apart and the dangers he will face.

With a new hotel manager at the helm, no one knows what the future holds, but as fashionable society retreats from London and staff depart to sign up for service, one thing is for certain: life at the Buckingham will never be the same again....

Can’t wait till we meet again in the next book!

I never want to start Anton’s books because I don’t want them to end! Loved, loved, loved this one! The characters developed even more and new ones emerged. The narrator was excellent and characterisations were so believable. I can’t wait for the next instalment in the Series.

I can't wait for the next one.

I have read all four of this series following the staff and visitors to the Buckingham Hotel. Anyone who enjoyed Upstairs, Downstairs and Downton Abbey would really enjoy these books. The only trouble is I have to stay up all night until I finish listening to the whole thing, then I'm disappointed that I've finished it already!

Slow start

I was quite disappointed at the first half of this book having enjoyed the others - but it sped up significantly and well worth the listen.

Dance amidst war & the call to Dunkirk

An excellent book. I was not as keen on the narrator as in the first in the series but nevertheless I recommend this as a thoughtful but entertaining read, keeping us on tenterhooks throughout. The characters grow and develop from book to book in the series and I’m already looking forward to the next one when it appears .

Exciting

I have loved all of the books in this series.
To begin with I thought it was tedious with so much attention to the board of the Buckingham but soon realised it was necessary as events unfolded. Another brilliant book helping you to feel how our soldiers and their families felt.
