Songs of Spring

Description

As the war grinds on, tragedy strikes the Rectory, and brings Caroline back into the fold. But the end of the war, however, brings its own problems as well as joys.

Amy Myers was born in Kent, where she still lives, although she has now ventured to the far side of the Medway. For many years a director of a London publishing company, she is now a full-time writer. Married to an American, she lived for some years in Paris.

"I didn't get to read the first two books in this series, but I'm proud to be able to choose Winter Roses and Songs of Spring, the two final books in Amy's quartet of first world war family affairs as my joint adult books of the month for August. This is a saga, pure and simple, but it's of a quality far elevated above normal saga fare, and it closes with two superb titles. I wonder what the wonderful Amy Myers has in store for us next? Anyone who loved Downton Abbey will sink into this with pure unadulterated pleasure."--Books Monthly "The domestic details about home life and food are as interesting as ever. Each person's role in the war is detailed enough to inspire the reader to find out more. Although the ending is not happy for everyone, the author concludes the series with celebration for victory and sadness for those who haven't seen the war out."--Historical Novels Review
