My Review

I loved this audiobook so much and enjoyed being in the company of these wonderful women.

The story is set in 1981, as Libby flees London to spend time with her great aunt Bess and friend Elfrida, in Suffolk. Whilst Libby stays with them, they remember their pasts full of family secrets and romances spanning 60 years.

I really liked Libby, and I loved Elfrida and Bess, they were brilliant characters that jumped off the page. I loved finding out about their past lives especially in the 1920s, 30s and 40s.

I loved Laura Aikman’s narration, she was superb at all the different characters through the decades.

Highly recommended if you enjoy dual timeline historical fiction set through the decades.
