About this listen

The first book in a brand new World War II saga series. Perfect for fans of Ellie Dean and Annie Groves.

Dover, 1939.

At the heart of Dover's Market Square lies the Castle's Café. A bustling, homely place run by the formidable Nellie Castle and her six children.

Since the scandalous birth of her beloved son 10 years before, Marianne, Nellie's eldest daughter, has preferred to stay in the kitchen, hidden away from the scrutiny of the town gossips. Overcome with shame, Marianne has never revealed the name of Donny's father - not even to her own mother.

But with World War II just around the corner, Marianne's past catches up with her. And suddenly the lives of the Castle family become a lot more complicated.

Will the secrets from her past destroy their future?

I really enjoyed this book especially as I live in Dover I was able to picture the scenes as I know the roads. The story was good and tripped along nicely with likeable characters. The narrator was excellent and really added to the listen. I am now going to download the next one in the series. Would definitely recommend if you are after a nice Sunday afternoon book.

Charming
