About this listen

The Hall family live under the brooding shadow of the Black Mountains, in the mining town of Hillsbridge. Charlotte, James and their seven children are independent spirits, united by strong family values. Living in a mining community is never easy, and when the shadow of impending war threatens, they must pull together to face the hardship to come. Can this close-knit family overcome whatever tragedy life throws at them?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, number 1 of the saga of the Hall family who live in Hillsbridge a mining town in England. Starts in 1920’s. It’s an intriguing and colourful story which is never short of characters and I applaud the writer’s ability to bring the characters to life. I am currently listening to book 2 and I have already downloaded books 3&4, so sure that I will enjoy them.

A very enjoyable saga series, if you love Catherine Cookson like me, then give it a try.

I could not stop listening to the hillingsdale story about the Halls family. Read by Gordon Griffin who’s voice so easy to listen to was a pleasure to hear.
