Publisher's Summary
SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH THE HALFPENNY GIRLS. . .
The perfect heart-warming family saga about overcoming hardship and the value of friendship. Perfect for fans of Val Wood, Kitty Neale and Rosie Goodwin.
Will their prayers be answered at the most wonderful time of the year?
As Christmas approaches, Alice, Edith and Marg continue to face hardships growing up on one of the poorest streets in Blackpool. Penniless, their friendship has helped them survive this far, but it'll take more than that to see them through the dark days that lie ahead . . .
Newly married Alice receives shocking news about her pregnancy that threatens the future she's always dreamed of, Marg is struggling to care for her ailing mother and ensure her little sister receives the education she deserves, and Edith is grieving the loss of her family while preparing to marry her sweetheart.
The Halfpenny Girls once again are faced with a struggle, but with the festive season upon them will family, friendship and Christmas spirit see them through?
The Halfpenny Girls is part of a trilogy but can be read as a standalone. Don't miss the girls' return in The Halfpenny Girls at War. And if you want to curl up with another festive treat, don't miss Maggie Mason's brand-new book The Fortune Tellers' Secret!

Disappointing
Having just finished the first book in this series, I was very disappointed with the narration. I could not help but compare this with the wonderful reading of Ann Dover (apologies Julia!) but I found the accents and general interpretation of the character's voices jarring. I could not get past the first chapter.
I will read this book myself and then go to the 3rd book in this format, since it appears to be narrated by Ann Dover.
I would like to hear a series read by the same person and in future will check first.
