About this listen

The next book in the series from the bestselling author Rosie Clarke of The Harpers Emporium and The Mulberry Lane Series.

There are hard times ahead for the Harpers Girls...

1914 Oxford Street, London

It is two years since Harpers Emporium opened its doors and life is good for Sally and Ben Harper as they look forward to the arrival of their first child.

Beth Burrows is settling into married life with Jack and is gradually recovering from her miscarriage and Aunt’s tragic death.

Harpers welcomes some new faces and they all become part of the daily life at the busy store.

However, whilst the sun is shining on the streets of London, dark clouds gather over Europe as war looms threatening rainy days for the girls…

A heart-warming saga following the lives, loves and losses of the Harpers Girls.
Perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Pam Howes and Dilly Court.

Great book

Please use Americans to do characters from USA. The British attempt at an American accent does not work.

Change of cast

This is the third book in the series that I have listened to, unfortunately it was just like all new actors in your favorite soap. Mini had developed a speech impediment, Mr Marco a very strong European accent, Rachel sounded completely different. I know it must be difficult with different accents, but it was such a different listening experience

Enough with the character voices!

The story is a pleasant diversion, although it won't win prizes for being a work of literary genius.

The narrator, however, almost caused me to abandon it. The voices she put on for each character were grating, especially the one with the speech impediment, and the English-Italian window dresser. Just horrible.

Lovely story

A lovely story unfortunately I found the narrator’s performance difficult to listen to. The narration is very poor, stilted and ragged.

Narrator

Why change the narrator mid series? I’ve struggled with the last 2 books & only continuing because the story is so good.

Grating

The reading performance has been the worst I ever encountered. Squeeky Voice for most young people. A mockery. Hurt my ears.

I loved the continuation and development of the story .

I found the narrator in this book the third in the series spoilt the listening as the voices were badly portrayed, l am hoping the next book will sound more like the first two .

Accents cringeworthy

This is a predictable tale and one expects no more but the performance was, in part unbearable. The Italian window dresser was given an inaccurate and over exaggerated accent and that was bad enough. The poor Ms Minnie who “embwoidered dwesses and was a fwend of Wachel, weally was given a wetter persona than a dwowned drunken Dwug deawer” Sewiously bwoody unbeawable. Please don’t allow this to happen again. It is insulting!!!!

Loving this series

I really enjoy the stories, however the accents of the characters have changed and unrecognisable. The accents do not match the characters at all. Takes such a lot away from the story.
