I adored this family saga set just after the Second World War. It was an easy but very enjoyable read,

I love books set around the second World War and love Freda Lightfoot’s writing style.
Brenda loses her husband in the war and comes home to his family hoping to find her little boy who spent the war with one of the aunts. She faces a lot of opposition and has a tough time settling back into life in Britain.
We follow family issues, relationships and a lot of WW2 history and I was drawn in from the start. We heard about life in the camps and very daring escapes. We go back in time to her life with her husband and the troubles in the war, back to her trying to win over his family when she returns and they refuse to believe that they were married.

This was a real treat..
