Beschreibung
The first in a nostalgic and heart-warming WWII saga series by bestselling author Maisie Thomas, that readers of Ellie Dean and Lesley Eames will love.
1940, Manchester
Kitty learned early on in her marriage that her husband, Bill Dunbar, isn’t reliable with money. So she’s hopeful, when they inherit the Dunbar family hotel at the start of the war, that their financial worries will be over… until the bailiffs turn up! With Bill working hard in the Auxiliary Fire Service to protect Manchester from German bombing raids, it’s up to Kitty to turn things around for her family.
Lily worked as a chambermaid at Dunbar’s before the war. But her relationship with Daniel, a merchant seaman, was complicated by class differences and the disapproval of Daniel’s mother. Now Lily discovers she’s pregnant – and with Daniel away at sea she faces the judgement and scorn of wider society all alone. Will Kitty and Dunbar’s come to her rescue?
Beatrice is in her forties, unmarried, and working to support households with elderly or infirm relatives: a job that exposes her to the harsh realities of poverty and sacrifice. But when she bumps into an old flame at Dunbar’s hotel, she wonders whether there’s an opportunity to change her own life for the better.
Can the Dunbar’s hotel community pull together and provide a beacon of hope and resilience, in the dark days of war?
