Publisher's Summary:

This is a fine new collection of short stories by the much-loved Patricia Grace, probably never more popular since the great commercial success of the novel Tu. The thread that runs through all the stories is Grace's huge sympathy for the underdog and the perspective of the outsider. The world she depicts is often a stark and unsentimental place, in which people struggle against ageing, rejection, violence, and betrayal.

On Easter day in 1918, Frances Kemp looked out at the little thatched village and promised that, one day, she'd come back

Long before Miss Kemp became headmistress of the village school, she had reason to know and love Burracombe. Sent to stay with family, young Frances treasured her summers there and the friends she made. But as she grows up, she admits that there is someone there who is more than just a friend.

As Frances watches so many get called away to war, she must struggle to find a way to get by while her sweetheart is away and a way to think about what lies ahead in a world where every day brings ever more uncertainty.

Members Reviews:

from the beginning of the series to now. You become apart of the village .

Really don't want this series to end. Recommended to those who like following characters from the beginning of the series to now. You become apart of the village .

Another winner from Lilian Harry

I loved this short little story. I was happy to read the back story of Frances Kemp (though it is sad), and why she remained single all those years. In later books, good things start to happen for her, for which I am happy!

I usually love all Lilian Harry books

I think this book was put out for the centenary of the first world war. I usually love all Lilian Harry books, but this was was just a rather pointless short story. Her Burracombe series is very good, however.

I loved this whole series

I loved this whole series...but felt there was something missing in this story...Maybe because it wasnt in the book form and only for the kindle.... Not as happy with this one....BUT the series IS WORTH READING

"Avevo sedici anni quando Parigi accolse uno dei suoi monumenti più rappresentativi. La mia vita non era piena di sorprese in quegli anni, era monotona e scontata. Eppure dovetti ricredermi quando, in quel giorno di aprile, un ragazzo ebbe linsana idea di venire a elemosinare ai tavoli del nostro bistrot." L8 aprile del 1889 Parigi è in gran fermento: la torre dellingegner Gustave Eiffel, è final-mente terminata e tutti si apprestano a vivere le meraviglie dellEsposizione Mondiale.Allombra della grandiosa struttura e lungo gli eleganti Champs Elysees, lincontro tra due giovani renderà quella notte indimenticabile. Non sarà Parigi a essere magica, ma saranno loro a renderla tale.

Terrific

Thought provoking beautifully written page turner. Racing through to see what would happen, I was looking forward to reading it again for all the issues and themes

Enjoyable read.

A very enjoyable, easy read. Not haha funny, but shy humor and lovable characters, with insight into ordinary behavior.

Hampstead plus+

Brilliantly told, loved every minute of it. What a joy. Was devasted when it came to an end, all too quickly.

Terrific and original novel

Good character-driven novel. Interesting, unexpected but believable characters, with good character development. Funny and true. I liked the setting, too.

Five Stars

Publisher's Summary:

A touching and emotional novel from the author of Richard and Judy pick Yesterday's Sun.

Maggie Carter knows Victoria Park like the back of her hand. She knows which routes around the park are easiest to navigate; she knows what time of year the most beautiful flowers bloom; and she knows which bench by the pond allows you to hear the joyful chatter of children throwing bread to the ducks without risking getting splashed by over-enthusiastic flapping. But she's never seen any of these things. Maggie is blind: Her senses of touch, smell and hearing have built an image of the place she loves most in the world, and she's never felt held back by her unseeing eyes. And yet, newly married and expecting her first baby, Maggie has suddenly started to doubt her ability to cope.

Elsie is also expecting her first child, but unmarried, alone and without the support of her family, she's terrified her baby will be taken away. When Maggie meets Elsie one day in the park she tries to comfort this distressed young woman - but all is not as it seems. Because Elsie lost her baby sixty years earlier, and now, suffering from the first stages of Alzheimer's, she can't stop re-living the most traumatic event in her life.

Determined to bring Elsie back to the present, Maggie sets out to find out what happened all those years ago and bring peace to Elsie memoriesbefore it's too late.

Loved the book

I enjoyed this book very much

I enjoyed this book very much. It dealt with blindness and capability, the blind mother wondering about being able to parent a baby, step parenting, dealing with a mother-in-law, who didn't approve of the marriage, and giving help to an older woman with Alzheimer.

Publisher's Summary:

Worlds separate Brent Rosser from Ulla Peet, but a burglary gone wrong brings them into a confrontation that will change their lives - and end one of them, or perhaps both. There are many crimes in this chilling novel - brutal murder, corporate fraud, domestic violence and spiritual bankruptcy. Through the chance meetings of the Peet and Rosser families, Crime Story asks questions about the victims and perpetrators of crime, and about the price of greed and personal isolation. It is a haunting portrayal of human frailty but also of human courage.

Members Reviews:

Crime Story with a twist

This is a crime story with a twist. Maurice Gee has presented this novel in a style I had not experienced before. The story is conveyed through his development of characters, their actions and the coincidental connections between them all. An interesting and easy to read novel from one of New Zealand's greatest writers, Maurice Gee.
