Summary
The village of Burracombe is looking forward to the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, but the year of 1953 is to prove a year of heartbreak as well as celebration.
While Stella Simmons begins to plan her wedding, her sister Maddy is only just coming to terms with the loss of her own fiancé; Val and Luke Ferris are wondering if they will ever become parents, and Hilary Napier wonders if love will ever find her.
The Tozer family also face anxiety. As grandmother Minnie fights for her life, Tom and Joanna's premature twins battle with their own crisis. Tensions abound over who's arranging the celebrations, children run amok and, in the midst of it all, romance comes from a quite unexpected direction.

So depressing
The whole book was depressing to be honest. I really enjoyed Storm over Burracombe which is why I bought this, but goodness me, it lingered way too long on the misery aspect. If you like to be depressed or if you want to follow the series in sequence, then read this, otherwise skip to the next, hopefully it is a bit more cheerful than this.

Excellent narration but I got rather depressed!
Anne’s narration was as fabulous as ever! She does great accents and really brings the characters to life.
However, a good few chapters in and I had to stop listening. There were several deaths / serious illnesses from the start, it was miserable and made me depressed. Didn’t seem to be much happiness at all to counteract it like there had been in previous books in the series, apart from Stella’s marriage and she is the one character I really don’t care about as she’s so wishy washy.
