A fabulous end to the Daughters of War trilogy. Vicky travels to Morocco to meet her Grandmother she has never seen but as she arrives along with some friends disasters strike both her, her friends and her Grandmother. Along the way all three sisters unite those we have met before and interlink with Vicky and her Grandmother. A worthy 5⭐️. Thanks to Dinah and her publisher.

I was so excited to read the final in this series and it didn’t disappoint. A big plus for me with Jefferies’ writing is the characters, their depth and development. I love the focus on diverse and strong women. Our main characters in this story are Vicky and her grandmother Clemence. Vicky is the daughter of one of the three sisters, Elise, from the previous books.

The plot was a little far fetched and unbelievable for this to be a 5* for me but I enjoyed the various twists and turns. The setting was well described and I appreciated the background of political tension throughout with the much more lighthearted forefront of art and design, with Vicky’s desire to become a world famous fashion designer.

I haven’t been disappointed by any of the books I’ve read so far by Dinah Jefferies and look forward to reading more in future. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have read all of Dinah 's previous books and enjoy her writing. This book started very promisingly but I feel that it didn't quite hit the mark this time. There were events in the book that did not add up in my opinion. The characters were interesting but again, some elements of the story did not feel true. It's a shame as it is the 3rd book in a trilogy, although you do not have to read them in order as they also work as stand alone books.

Concluding her trio of novels based around three sisters. Set in 1960’s it is full of mystery and drama.

The Night Train to Marrakech is the final novel in The Daughters of War series by Dinah Jefferies. I was hoping for great things with such a romantic title. However, stripping back the padding, there wasn't much of a plot. The revelations of Clemence's life was probably the most powerful device the author used, it fitting well with 21st century understanding of abuse against women by men. Dinah Jefferies hallmark is painting an exotic scene using words. She does it well but I think it overdone, or maybe I've just read so many of her books its lost its impact. Occasionally, in my opinion she gets things wrong, like the smell of lemon and orange blossom. It isn't zesty like the fruit but beautifully sweet. As for Clemence's granddaughter Vicky, there's just one word for virtually every food she tastes in Morocco and that's delicious. So, repetition and lots of padding. Furthermore, I don't honestly know what Clemence's mother adds to the story. A lady suffering from dementia, looked after by Clemence and her long suffering servant Nadia.
The Night Train to Marrakech is not one of Dinah's best I'm afraid but if you are a newbie to her work then it only gets better.

The last book in a trilogy and a fitting finale. A few ends tied up, although I think the book could stand alone. Plenty of action with many twists and turns. As before, good character portrayal and location descriptions that the reader can almost smell the spices and blossoms. I didn't really take to Vicky a rather self-centered main female character to whom everything seems to happen to amongst lots of tears and histonics but as a thread works well. We'll written drawing the reader in to a world of mystery and intrigue.

This is the third book in the Triogy, Daughters of War but it can be read on its own if you haven't read the previous two.
I love the books that Dinah Jefferies writes and the first book of this triogy is still in my head after all this time.
However, I did find this book a bit slow to start with. I had no idea who Vicky or Clemence were but later understood that we had moved forward a good number of years.
The story on its own was brilliant and I enjoyed it but as a third part of a trilogy I was slightly disappointed.
Even the second book wasn't a follow up and only about one of the three sisters along with the introduction of new people.
I wanted to know what had happened after the war in France, how did the sisters survive? What happened to the sister who went to live in England...etc.
The third book did introduce the sisters again and tells a bit about the past years but too short on that for me.
The story itself deserves five stars but just as a one off book and not a trilogy for me.

This is the final book in the series with a brilliant ending too. A wonderful setting in Marrakech and a cast of fantastic characters which kept me turning the pages. A brilliant trilogy overall.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in return for an honest review.

I have not read any books by Dinah Jefferies and was looking forward to reading this one. I wasn't sure if this one being the third in a series would mean I would have to read the others first but this was a book that I could read without the first two books (although now I want to go back and find out more about the families).

The story of a young woman travelling to Marrakech to newly discovered grandmother. What secrets will unravel on this trip, what stories will be told and what trouble do the girls (Vicky & Bea) get into.

This is a well written book although a bit slow to start I really did get into it and enjoyed reading it. I love the characters and the mixture of murder, secrets, romance and more that intermingled within the pages. I now need to read the other books and then come back to read the final one again.

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for giving me the chance to read and review this book.

The third and final book of the trilogy of Daughters in War. This book is set in Marrakech in the 70's and feature Vicky and Bea, daughters of Elise and Florence.

Vicky is desperate to meet Yves St Laurent who is in Marrakech, she also finds out prior to going to Morocco that her grandmother (Victor's mother lives there).

Political tensions, murders and love, this book has them all....

Very enjoyable read

This is the third book in the daughters of war series and it was a great finish to the series even though I would love another book in this world. Such epic storytelling and I was completely lost in it. If you haven't picked up this series do yourself a favour and start asp.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. I really enjoyed the storyline and the characters in this book and loved the location this story was set in

Iam totally lost for words to describe this utterly brilliant book, this being the 3rd in the trilogy, which has been utterly spellbinding. We have come a long way from France to Malta to Marrakech, with this final book it all becomes very clear at times I was sitting on the edge of my seat holding my breath in anticipation of what was going to take place next I have nothing but admiration for this fabulous author who's attention to detail is 💯 % I can highly recommend this outstanding series.

What a great sequel, full of twists and turns, I really enjoyed the whole storyline. As before Dinah Jefferies writing skills kept me glued to the story as well painting a great picture of Morocco. The story weaves in the previous books well but can be read as a standalone, but why would you want to miss the steps that get you to this point?

Over the years I have read most of Dinah Jefferies novels. They have all been most enjoyable and this is no exception. I like the style of writing, the characters and storyline in these historical novels. As a frequent visitor to Morocco, this novel evoked memories of my last trip to Marrakesh. The novel is mostly based at a kasbah outside Marrakesh and the landscape brings back memories. For a historical novel this is also a suspenseful thriller which had me guessing for the most part of my read how it would culminate. It is also a love story which goes to prove that love is not the prerogative of the young, as the grandmother Clemence proves. The granddaughter, Vicky, in her quest to meet the great designer Yves St Laurent, gets into some very difficult situations but quite naturally all ends well.

I hope I get the opportunity to review Ms Jefferies next book in the Daughters of War trilogy. My thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, Harper Collins, for this advance book

I was slow to get into this book, but was so glad that I did. It was atmospheric, drew me into the souks of Marrakech.
I hadn’t read the blurb, so loved the twists thrown in and the tension was well built.
It was only when I finished the book that I realised that it was the final part of a trilingual, though I don’t think this took anything away from the reading experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
Thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for the copy in return for my review.

I didn’t finish the book. The third of a trilogy, but to me it was all different characters and not the one we wanted to engage with. I was very disappointed.

My favourite of the 3 novels in the series, or maybe I’ve said that about all of them? Fabulous, heartstopping read, absolutely unputdownable in places as the tension rose. It tied together all the loose ends from the previous 2 books very nicely.

It isn’t necessary to have read the previous books on the series as this is easy enough to follow as a stand alone with explanations of relationships between the sisters. However I’d expect anyone to want to go back and read the other stories as Dinah Jefferies writes about the characters and locations so beautifully that you can feel and smell all the different parts of the environments, cultures and sights and sounds.

A wonderful series, beautifully written- thoroughly recommend!

The third in the ‘Daughters of War’ trilogy. With thanks to Harpercollins and Netgalley for the opportunity to read in exchange for an honest review.
This novel seemed to be a little far fetched in many ways, lot of political intrigue, strange disappearances and people tied to difficult pasts. Like all of Ms Jefferies writing it was a well written and I’m sure well researched story and was engaging to read. It just didn’t quite hold my attention to make it a page turner.

Night Train to Marrakech is the third is the Daughters of War series by Dinah Jefferies. Having read the first two in the series I was delighted when I was offered an arc of this book. The continuing story of the three sisters, Hélène, Elise and Florence has jumped forward and the next generation has been introduced - Vicky, daughter of Elise and Victor, and Bea, daughter of Florence and Jack. Vicky has just discovered her grandmother Clemence and decides to go to Morocco to visit her. She invites Bea to join her. However life is complicated in Morocco and the two girls find themselves in danger. As well as being transported to the sounds and scents of the souks in Marrakech, there is murder, a disappearance and romance. The ending of this final book of the saga ties up some loose ends from the previous books. An exciting read! My thanks go to NetGalley, Harper Collins and Dinah Jefferies for an arc of this enjoyable book.
