About this listen
The final novel in the heartwarming Lancashire-based Gibson Family series by beloved saga author Anna Jacobs.
It is 1860 in Bilsden, the Lancashire mill town, and Frederick Hallam is dying. But first he makes secret plans to smooth the future path for his beloved wife, Annie. Her sister, Joanie, is fed up with everything until a dashing new admirer crosses her path. But a spurned suitor is determined that Joanie will be his, whatever the cost. And he is not the only one who wants to harm the Gibson family.
Meanwhile the Civil War in America cuts off cotton supplies so that times are hard in Bilsden and unemployment is rife. Annie had to rebuild her life after her husband's death and plans to create Spinners Lake, an extraordinary project that will keep her workers from destitution and assuage her own grief.
Tian Gilchrist is caught up in the American war and nearly dies there. He fights his way back to Bildsen, to Annie, whom he has never forgotten.
And the plans that Frederick made for Annie will change her life in unforeseen ways, bringing her hope and happiness once again.

The narration was very disappointing
I have loved the characters of this series which made me give this final book a go although the reviews are disappointing with reference to the narrator. Unfortunately my love of the characters was also lost with this narrator and I couldn’t bear to listen to it.

Great final in the Gibson story
Enjoyed the final in this set of books but very disappointed that they changed the narrator. It took most of the book to get use to the change in the voice of the characters.

Great story, such a shame about the ascents
The story was great just disappointed in the accents , Anna,s other stories in this series were great and easy to listen to. However I wouldn't recommend listening to this due only to the teller.

Great Story
why on earth you changed narrators for this last instalment is beyond me. I was so enjoying the characters and their distinctive voices then to listen to this one where they were completely different and no refinement for Annie was hugely disappointing . Also continuity was not followed . Overall a great series and loved the storyline , will listen to more from this author.

Narrator
Although I always enjoy as Anna Jacobs stories I find the narrators very disappointing. I do not see why the reader has to make voices sound like the character’s. I would prefer to have my own voices in my imagination . Please please try and get the stories read as they appear on the page. The inflection in the voices is not good, not necessary and really off putting.

The story great, but ruined by the narrator I wish Anne Dover had read this as she had with the rest of the series. I found Julie's voice irritating, particularly with the men's. Spoilt the story for me.

Spinners Lake
I enjoyed the whole series and the storyline but the voices of the characters should have continued through to the end - that was very disappointing.

Narrator changed
Greatly enjoyed the saga of the Gibson family but oh what a shame they changed the narrator in the final book I so lost the connection with the characters which was a great disappointment in the final chapters of their lives
Find this happens a lot with audible spoils everything
