***************

The heartwarming third instalment of the Rivenshaw series from bestselling saga writer Anna Jacobs.

After a stray bomb scored a direct hit on his childhood home in Hertfordshire, the only thing that has kept Francis Brady going while he works day and night salvaging what he can from the rubble is the thought that soon he'll be joining war-time friends Mayne, Daniel and Victor as electrician in their new dream building firm in Lancashire.

But things are not going to plan: Mayne isn't answering any of his letters; Francis' wife is having a change of heart about moving up north - and her parents seem set on destroying his reputation...
A lot of marriages are breaking up in these times of change, and Francis is loathe for his to be one of them... But how can he turn down the opportunity of a new life and career in Rivenshaw?

Meanwhile in Rivenshaw itself, newly married Mayne and Judith's plans to convert Esherwood house into flats have come to an abrupt halt. While clearing out the house in readiness for the rebuild, they've discovered that someone has been stealing valuables and hiding them in the old Nissen hut. But who hid them there - and are they planning on returning for them? And are they also responsible for something else found in the shelter: a body, buried in a shallow grave...

With so much going against them, can these four friends ever turn their dreams into reality?

I found this book a little confusing at the start because I was sure it was not the first part of the saga ... but I couldn't find anything written to confirm that it was a 2nd book ... now, that I've finished I can see it's the 3rd book! no wonder it was confusing. Apart from that, I enjoyed the sto......more

Goodreads review by Ann on February 19, 2017

An enjoyable read but very similar plot to the previous two in the series. I would have liked something different. Also I am amazed that the four men in the book were demobbed so quickly. Its set in the summer of 1945 and the demobilisation only started in the June. My Dad was in the building indust......more

Goodreads review by Megs on October 18, 2020

I really enjoyed this book- I like the author’s matter-of-fact approach. I feel like it makes the post WW2 life more believable, even in the course of unbelievable circumstances and universally charming children, good-natured neighbors, and despicable villains. I would rate it a solid 4– it just was......more
