Loved the storyline and the characters were all lovely, couldn't put this book down, highly recommend

One of the things that drew me to this book was the fact that it was set mainly on the east coast of Yorkshire. I found it an okay read but to be honest I thought it was a bit like the series that I use to read many years ago in the weekly magazines. I know it's fiction but I found that some of Amber's decisions were quite unbelievable. That's my opinion but I expect a lot of people will read it and enjoy it but not really for me, sorry.

While working at Greenacres, Amber Ainsley has an affair with her boss, Barnaby Greenwood. The affair ends when Amber discovers she is pregnant and Barnaby orders her out.
Amber flees to Whitby where she stays with her uncle and gives birth to a little girl, that Barnaby has agreed to find a family for.
At Greenacres, Barnaby's unhappy wife Louisa, gives birth on the same night. She has no desire for children, or for Barnaby as it happens.
Following a family tragedy, bereft Amber has no choice but to return to Greenacres to work. Here she makes a shocking discovery that changes the course of her future.
As Louisa descends into ill health, it is not only Amber's future that falls onto a completely different path.
I enjoyed A Season for Hope, though I did find it frustrating at times. I felt Amber too stubborn for her own good at times!

I have read all of Rosie Goodwin’s books, and I have to say that this is easily among the best.

It’s such a touching story, focusing this time more on the sweetness of people than the violence that we find in life – though of course all her heroines meet with violence at sometime, and this one is no exception.

But I really felt that this one was more emotive than some of her others. It was an excellent read and I could not put it down.

Amber while working as a laundry maid becomes pregnant by Barnaby Greenwood. He sent her away. She ends up at the home of her uncle where she gives birth to a baby girl. Barnaby supposedly gives the baby up to a foster home. When Amber is once again working at the Greenwood home she finds out that he has deceived her all along.

Another great book by Rosie Goodwin, I loved this book, I couldn’t put it down. It tells the story of Amber a laundry maid to Barnaby Greenwood, they have an affair and amber gets pregnant but Barnaby is married to Louisa, all Barnaby wants is a child, but he can’t have Ambers child. Amber struggles with having a baby out of wedlock and Barnaby offers to find the child a loving home. But things aren’t quite as they seem, struggles and heartache follows them. A fantastic book and we’ll deserved 5 stars.

Firstly thank you Netgalley for this ARC
