Synopsis

The tide is turning, but on the home front, the battle is far from over for the Campions… Autumn 1944, the allies are invading Italy. At home in Britain, along with everyone else, the Campion family are doing their bit – working tirelessly in the hope that the end of the war is now in sight. Lou, separated from her twin Sasha, is spreading her wings quite literally in her new role as a member of the Air Transport Auxiliary, flying new planes to RAF bases. However, while there, she is confronted with a man from her past – Kieron Mallory. Sasha, newly engaged to Bobby, is filled with increasing fear, both for Bobby and about the terror that engulfs her whenever she thinks about being trapped in the bomb shaft that nearly took her life. Emily, newly widowed loves living in Whitchurch with Tommy, her adopted son, her pride and joy. But a chance sighting of Tommy turns Emily's world upside down and reawakens for Fran all the pain of her past. Back in London Katie hopes that she is finally over Luke until a surprise letter from him arrives. But can they ever build a friendship on the ashes of their love?

Reviews

Goodreads review by Shirley

Really enjoyed reading this book by Annie Groves. Very easy to read but hard to put down. Storytelling at it's best.......more

So hard to put Down! As I come to the end of each Campion Family book I want to shout 'NOOOOO!' I've gotten so stuck in with all the family members, they're like my own. It's hard for me when the book ends! The only small complaint I have is that the books weren't as well proofread as they could have......more

It was a perfect closure to a wonderful saga... You just can't not fall in love with the Campion Family. Such strong bonds, and this uncoditional love.. It's heart-consuming. Annie Groves, is the only writer who can portray love in a way that will melt the stoniest heart... *It's-this-feeling-OMG-wha......more
