About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Devon, 1939.


Young widow Julia Nance has found happiness again running her beloved Guesthouse, Fairlight, but with the arrival of war, even her last bookings are being cancelled. Step-daughter Elowen immediately offers to find work with arch rival Alma Jennings, but Julia prefers to keep her close, and searches desperately for alternatives.

Offering up her beloved home to be requisitioned, looking for any opportunity for work herself, she finds herself thwarted at every turn, and unwilling to accept the help of unscrupulous brother-in-law Pasco. With the threat of invasion growing, she ends up throwing herself into plans to protect the village and locals and through this finds an unexpected way to save her home and livelihood.

Perfect for fans of Vicki Beeby, Ginny Bell, Nancy Revell and Rosie Goodwin
