What to expect
Cambridgeshire. March 1939
As the clouds of war begin to gather in Europe, the Talbot family of rural Blackberry Farm will be torn apart, just as so many families all over the world will be. Life will never be the same again.
Whilst in London, the Salmons family will feel the pain of parting and loss.
Brought together by war, the two families become intertwined and, as the outlook looks bleak, they must draw on each other’s strength to fight through the hard times.
Lizzie Johnson and Tom were sweethearts until a mistake caused a terrible rift. Lizzie takes herself off to London to heal the pain in a glamorous new job but she still loves Tom. His pride has been hurt – but deep down inside Tom still cares.
Can they find happiness before their chance is gone and the whole world is swept into the terrible madness of war?
A heart-warming saga following the lives and loves of those who live on Blackberry Farm in the rural Cambridgeshire
Perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Fenella J Miller and Patricia McBride
