Summary

Changing times at Harpers Emporium - catch up with the ladies, their lives and loves...

London Spring 1920
Harpers is beginning to flourish once more after the end of the war but for Sally Harper the problems continue.
Husband Ben is moody, sometimes distant, and she feels he is shutting her out at home and at work, but why?
It takes a terrible tragedy to make them realise their love and respect is still true.
The ladies and girls who work at Harpers continue to battle with problems in their own lives.
Marion is still trying to reach her war-damaged husband and Lilly is battling with her pain and shame.
It’s a period of transition for all.
The doors of Harpers are busy welcoming new and returning staff whilst bidding a fond farewell to others.
This is the beginning of a new era and there is a fresh buzz of excitement in the air.

Enjoyable....

storyline with some old and new characters in plus it tied up the loose ends from the previous books. The narrator was good at using different voices for the characters.

Narrator and story

Narrator excellent but changing narrators during series who changed accents of characters such as Marko and others losing their cockney accent annoying . Great books but the last disappointing.

Expected more

I loved the earlier Harpers book but this didn’t meet expectations. Previous characters were forgotten about or briefly mentioned then vanish (Mr Marco
!). The newer characters aren’t as interesting and my biggest issue, there was no real storyline and lots of reputation.

The narration was okay but there wasn’t enough range in the characters voices, all the women pretty much sounded the same.

Disappointing

Enjoyed the early books in Harper's series but this one seemed lacking. Somehow forgettable....feels like it was written just to get out the next book. I've never liked this narrator either and unlike previous books in the series, the content didn't make up for enduring her poor reading.

irritating narrative

poor read compared to previous Harpers books. I found the narrator to be too melancholy sounding , the one word that kept coming to mind was 'simpering '. shame really I was hopeful of a much better ending to the series

Slower than the last books

Nice to hear from this writer in this series again. Found the beginning slower and entire book not as much going on as previous books. Good to tie up a few story lines from certain characters.

Misery

Most miserable book I have ever read. Just as well I wasn’t feeling depressed. A happy ending if you could manage to plough through all the misery
