The second book in the trilogy and it certain did not disappoint the book ebbs and flows and brings the story to life.

We see what the Saward sisters are getting up to. also other family members. When a distant relative turns up who is wanted by the law will this upset Maria and her life. With the men that are missing two years on from Gallipoli without knowing what has happened to them the woman of the village are still grieving.

Interesting to see a photo of Harry Saward on the internet as he was the station master at Wolferton.

The book is a wonderful read and getting you so wanting to know more and could not put this down.

I look forward to reading the next book and would recommend this book.

In the second book in the series, life has settled somewhat for the Saward family, though the war still rages & losses are felt strongly. Jessie has a sweetheart, Beatrice has found a new purpose as a Nurse, and Maria has been accepted by the community and is working hard to provide for her mother, brothers & young son.

There have been many losses during the war, and as news trickles home reporting that many of the local men are missing, their unknown fate plunges the village into despair. However there remains a glimmer of hope to families that they might still be alive and when young Eddie Herring, Maria's sweetheart, is brought to the local convalescent home, he is able to give some comfort that others may follow.

When a young woman arrives in Wolferton, and reports that she is wanted for theft, bigamy and possible manslaughter, the Seward family are again plunged into turmoil, as Nellie Jeacock is Maria's cousin on her mother's side. With such close links to the Royal Family, the Sewards must try to avoid another potential scandal whilst always striving for the truth.

It was interesting to learn more about the embroidery done by wounded soldiers as part of rehabilitation (building fine motor skills, can be done sitting and is what we'd now call "mindful", enabling them to get absorbed into it and not constantly reflect on their injuries). Whilst some moments feel unrealistic, and Nellie's storyline didn't engage me as much as Maria's in the first book, overall it is a good second installment to the story.

The second heartwarming book in The Royal Station Master's Daughters series. For readers of Maisie Thomas and Daisy Styles.
A thoroughly engaging read.

Many thanx to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for allowing me to read and review this book.

I didn't realise this was book 2 but read it and thoroughly enjoyed it as a stand alone book. It was an engaging easy read with many branches of the main tale. Each one of them could have been published individually, they were so well intertwined that the book flowed from one to another without the reader loosing track.
I really hope Ellee Seymour will be writing book 3 as I would love to know the next chapters in the character's lives!!
Great book, lovely story telling!

A good read. If you enjoy historical fiction you will love this book set in the first world war it's a story of love, loss and family drama full of interesting characters who all have enjoyable storylines. The second in this series and it doesn't disappoint

A brilliant read and one I really enjoyed. The characters are loveable and varied, the plot is one that is engaging and medium paced. I found myself completely drawn into the story and enjoyed the writing style.

Another great read from Ellee. This second book finds the characters two years on from book one. Maria has now left Harry’s house and is living in a cottage on Sandringham estate and is working in the big house. I love all the characters and it’s great to find out how they’re getting on. There are still lots of ups and downs for them all but it’s lovely how they all pull together during those difficult times during the war. I shall certainly keep an eye out ready for the third book in this trilogy.

this is the second book in the series and I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely heartwarming tale with some lively and colourful characters. I have attached would definitely be a recommend this a light read.

I absolutely loved the first book in this saga and couldn't wait to read this one. I loved it just as much. If you love wartime sagas then you will love this

Book two loss and tragedy in this heart warming series WW1.
1917 The royal Sandringham estate royal station master Harry Saward all his daughters all working and missing sweethearts.
A unputdownable compelling read.
A private detective chasing a young woman auburn hair smartly dressed in a red jacket wanted for bigamy and theft and a possible murder saying she has connections to the Saward family, fugitives can't be left to roam the estate who is this frightened woman the papers are naming her Nellie Jeacock and she is hunted by the police none of the family have heard of her so what is the story of Nellie turning up in Wolferton. I must read on.
A fantastic start to book two you wont be able to put down that I read over a few days as could not wait to start a new chapter, I love this family as they all pull together during the highs and lows.
Love all the characters with their own story to tell. 5 stars.

It's the first I read in this series and liked the fleshed out characters and the vivid historical background.
The plot is compelling and kept me reading.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

A mine of information is waiting as we read about Maria working as a maid at the big house while her partner Eddie who previously worked as a porter at Wolferton station is away fighting for his country along with Ada’s husband Alfie and Jessie’s partner Jack.
I enjoyed hearing about the different work at the big house and the proper etiquette expected of the staff.
Then there was Beatrice who was nursing the sick and injured soldiers. When she got to assist in experimental operations on men who would otherwise have suffered amputations.
The Saward’s quiet lifestyle is upset by an unexpected visitor which adds a little excitement to the story.
There was an element of romance, even in the most unexpected quarters.

Historical fiction from 1915 during the war years. Wolferton Station is where the Royal family end their rail journey when visiting their country estate at Sandringham. It is a small station which is also. used by the local community and the soldiers who are embarking on their journey to fight in the war. The book gives an insight in what should be a peaceful community but nothing is what it seems and troubles brew for the Station Master and his family. A lovely read which makes me eager to read the next in the trilogy.

This book is a real treat. I did read the first book in the series before but it could be read as a stand alone. The characters are so believable in a wonderful family drama set during WW1. I will certainly look forward to more adventures with the family.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Thank you to all involved in my being able to read this ARC in return for my honest opinion.

I had never read a book by this author before and actually purchased the first book in the series which I read before this one.
It would have been possible to read this book as a standalone novel but the storyline did make more sense being able to put the characters in context

It was lovely to revisit the Saward sisters and their families and learn more about them and their lives in the small Norfolk village and to catch up with others
The futility of WW1 was brought home with no news of the Sandringham Pals two years after Gallipoli and the the grief still felt by their families who had neither news nor a grave to visit.

Parts of the story in book one were resolved in this book though I understand that it is a trilogy and I look forward to finding out what happens to the sisters in book 3

This is a great read for those that like historical sagas and like to follow the lives of the characters - well written and a delightful read

I really enjoyed this book although it was quite different to my usual reads.

I found all the Sayward sisters interesting and their involvement with work at the hospital and also working at "The Big House". How exciting when Queen Alexandra visited Ruth's cottage. Wouldn't that be something?

I shall look for more books by this author.

Thankyou for thir ARC.

Firstly thank you Netgalley for this Arc

Another brilliant book in this series if you love family saga then you will love this series

Can’t wait to read more by this author
