Summary

The third book in a moving and heartwarming World War II saga series. Perfect for listeners of Ellie Dean and Annie Groves and for fans of the Home Fires series.

Dover 1940

As firebombs fall on Dover, Edie Castle's life is thrown into turmoil when the garage where she lives and works is damaged and her beloved boss is arrested.

With no job and nowhere else to go, Edie returns to Castle's Café and her formidable mother, Nellie. Living with her mother is never easy, but tensions reach boiling point when an old friend of Nellie's arrives looking for a place to stay.

Meanwhile, desperate to clear her boss's name, Edie turns to his nephew for help. But when the café is engulfed in scandal, a shocking tragedy brings long-buried memories to the surface, and Edie realises she can't trust anyone—not even her own mother...

Just Brilliant!

Thoroughly enjoyed this 3rd book. The story places you right in the heart of a war torn Dover and Bea brings the characters alive. Can’t wait for the next chapter.

Fantastic 3rd Book

I absolutely loved this book, it's the third in the War time saga of the Dover Cafe in war time. I spent every moment I could listening to this, I was completely enthralled by the twists and turns.
The only minor negative thing for me, was that I did not feel it ended well. It seemed kind of rushed. I am hoping that is due to a possible forth book? However, I can't find any information to confirm this.
The books are still amazing reads and I highly recommend reading/listening to them. Bea Holland is a great narrator.
