Highly recommended read

I love this series, this is book three in the Dover cafe series ww2 1941.
Edie Castle working at Pearson's garage visits her dads grave on his memory he dies in 1927 and there is a Hydrangea a single stem that means sorry who could it be? every year has been never been missed.
Her mum Nellie Castle has no good words about her father, and Edie still suffers nightmares about that fatal day. Her and her mum have never seen eye to eye and Nellie is though of in the community in Dover as war and is under fire, all around them it horrendous times for everyone.
Emotional story, with lots of heart-breaking secrets that we find as we read, that is so strongly written right to the end, this is the author's best work yet so be prepared for lots of sad chapters.

Five stars!!! This is definitely the most complex of the series so far, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Edie and Nellie have always had a rocky relationship and we never really understand why, this book centres very much around this aswell as some unexplained events within the town including targeted bombings.

We see Hester return after her cameo in Book 1, why has she turned up on Nellies doorstep all of a sudden and how does she seem to know the mysterious Walter.

Ginny Bell researches her books so well, interweaving some true events and people into her fictional stories.

Thank you to Bonnier Books and NetGalley for the digital arc of this book, which I highly recommend!

The Castle family are entertaining, without doubt! Nellie being head of the household and always willing to help someone in need, an old acquaintance Hester comes along to take advantage of this.
Meanwhile Pearson’s garage is badly damaged by fire putting Eddie out of a job and also a home as she lived above it. Eddie decides to move back to the family home which is difficult for her as she has a strained relationship with her mother.
My favourite character is Jasper, he cares about everyone.

Firstly thank you Netgalley for this ARC

What a brilliant series this has been. If you love family saga books based in wartime you will definetely love this book

This is the 3rd book in a Ww2 saga about the castles and there cafe. I loved this series and sad it’s come to an end

Wonderful story if your a big fan of family Ww2 saga’s then this is for you

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

I really enjoyed this book, the best one of the series so far I think.

In past books we’ve not read much about Edie and Nellie, who did not had a good relationship, but we don’t know why. This book, is mainly about them along with some other incidents happening in the town, together with targeted bombings.

Hester, who we briefly met in book one, is back in this one, but why has she come to see Nellie and how does she know Walter?

I recommend this book.
