Beautifully Written Period Family Saga! 

 

I’ve been waiting to read this for quite some time; just needed a little gap in my tbr and I have to say it was well worth waiting for!

Ruth, Lydia, Jenny and Grace are four young women who have become friends through working and living together; but it comes as a shock when they are all dismissed, albeit unfairly, on the same day. With very little chance of finding further employment in the small town of Ruston, they decide to head off to London in the hope of improving their lot in life, with the help of an unexpected inheritance one of them is astonished to receive.

A beautifully written and warm-hearted novel, this is a really enjoyable saga encompassing not only the four girls but also their extended family and the acquaintances they make in the capital city. With several strong story lines, there is plenty happening to keep the reader glued to the page – I certainly was! Lots of details about the period make this quite mesmerising; not only what is going on in London at that time, but also about general life, the class system, fashion and so much more. Throw in a bit of mystery and it all adds up to a super 5* read – and one I’m very happy to recommend! I’m also putting Lesley Eames on my list of ‘must-read’ authors. 

I purchased this book for myself. This is my honest, original and unbiased review.
