About this listen

In 1916, the people are settling down to the business of war. As conscription reaches into every household, Britain turns out men and shells in industrial numbers from army camps and munitions factories up and down the land.

Bobby Hunter gains his wings and joins his brother in France. Ethel, the under housemaid, embarks on a quest, and Laura sets out on her biggest adventure yet. Diana finds a second chance at happiness in the last place she'd think of looking, and Beattie's past comes back to haunt her. But as the Battle of the Somme grinds into action, the shadow of death falls over every part of the country, and the Hunter household cannot remain untouched.

This is the third book in the War at Home series by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles, author of the much-loved Morland Dynasty novels. Set against the real events of 1916, this is a richly researched and wonderfully authentic family drama featuring the Hunter family and their servants.

I am hooked on the stories of the Hunter family. The "Land of my dreams" is particularly poignant based on WW1. I have to say Penelope Freeman is by far one of the best narrators I have listened too. Her range of voices for the different characters is amazing. This makes listening too a real treat. I just had to download the next instalment. The author writes a compelling saga, I will be getting all the series in due course.

Fantastic narrator
