About this listen

The war is only into its second year, but already it has claimed one victim from the Adams family. Emily, Boots's cherished wife, has died in an air-raid, and the whole family mourns her. But for Polly Simms the prospect of a new life dawns, while the members of the younger generation who are in uniform, and doing their bit for king and country, have their own problems to contend with. Tim has been posted to Scotland, to train as a commando, and has met the lovely young officer Felicity; Eloise, now a sergeant in the ATS, is enjoying her new job as driver to the formidable Major Lucas. And has Rosie, now commissioned, lost her heart at last?

The Blitz all but destroys the factory in Shoreditch, but Sammy and Tommy Adams manage to find some alternative accommodation. And love is in the air - for young and old alike - as the Adams family refuse to let Hitler get the better of them.

“Audible hopes you’ve enjoyed this program” well yes, I did! Too much! These books are gonna cost me a packet and all my phone memory cause I’m off to download three more with my newly bought audible credits! Spent just over £50 quid in under a week I’m THAT addicted to the Adams family saga! Oh well onto the next!

Yet another cracker!

Another excellent book on the series. I’m pretty sure this isn’t really very representative of what the war was like. People complained in reviews that Polly was irritating but I am finding Eloise far more of an irritant. There is no way in real life that she would get away with speaking to her superiors the way she does. Excellent narration as always

Excellent again
