I love Anna Jacobs books, especially the ones that form a series and this is no exception. Can’t wait for the next one.
I have loved reading The Ellindale Series which ends with One Perfect Family,it has been a joy getting to know and love the residents.Leah,Jonah,Rosie,Finn,Charlie,Todd and Harry.Tam Crawford has been on the road for years but when a dear old lady who he did work for dies he has to visit a solicitor who is dealing with her will.To find that she has left him money to make his life better on the understanding that he help others,tam knows he can make his dream come true and go home to the only place he feels at peace.Along the way he meets phyllis who knows a woman that without help will end up in poor house.Tam and Cora meet and decide to help each other live better lives.I won't give the whole story away but will say this book is worth 5* if not more.I look forward to the next from Anna Jacobs.
Heart warming story,full of interesting characters,set in a time when women were beginning to come in to their own.
This is another lovely story by Anna Jacobs, Tam has been on the tramp for many years (most people know him as Crazy Tam). Tam doesn't like to see injustice or cruelty to other people or animals and tends to react and get involved without thinking.
Tam is bequeathed money from one of the women Tam would do work for, it's 1936 and Tam is given £300, which is a huge amount so Tam purchases a van and goes back to where he grew up, he would love to own his own property and run his own business, in the meantime Tam meets Jinna who doesn't talk, she is being bullied by the local boys so Tam intervenes.
And the story continues when Tam meets Cara & Ned, this is a lovely story how a family doesn't have to blood to be close and the trials and tribulation of the local town.
Well written, really easy to read with a lovely flowing storyline that keeps you hooked.
