About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Cliffehaven, 1945
The war in Europe is over, but for Peggy Reilly and the residents of Beach View Boarding House the effects of the conflict are still far-reaching.
Cockney evacuee, Ivy, and her sweetheart, Andy, are saving to get married and fulfil their dream of returning to the East End. But when tragedy strikes, Ivy is faced with a life-changing dilemma that only she can resolve.
Rita also faces an impossible choice when her sweetheart Peter proposes and asks her to live with him in Australia – just as her widowed father returns from the fighting in Europe.
Meanwhile Peggy must say goodbye to several of her evacuee chicks whilst she awaits the return of her family from Somerset and the news that her husband, Jim, can finally come home.
It’s a dream she’s held onto for six long years, but fate has one more twist in store.

Just as wonderful as the other books in the series
**I am reviewing the audio version of this book**
I am not sure what else I can say about this series of books that I haven’t already said. This book was just as wonderful as the other books.
Every time I read another book in this series, I become so engaged with the characters that I feel like they are real. I don’t know how Ellie Dean does it, but she takes the reader from Tragedy to laughing out loud effortlessly.
The Narration was good, although throughout the series, I did get used to Annie Aldington and Julie Maisey. Once i got used to the current Narrator’s voice though, it was all good.
.
A friend made the comment that when she’s finished one of the Cliffehaven books, she has trouble getting in to another book, because they are that good. I have to agree. The whole series has had me hooked from start to finish.
I am going to be very sad when this series is over.
I don’t usually reread books, but I would definitely consider rereading this series in the future.
This series I feel is best read in order, although they can be read as stand alone.
Would highly recommend.

Wonderful Series
I read the 17 books from this series and loved them. My only complaint is to use the same narrator for all of the books.

Dreadful Narration
This book was ruined by the terrible narration but as it was 17 out of 18 books in the series I had to listen ..if it had been the first book it would have stopped me reading all the books ..part of the joy off listening this series has been the wonderful narration which brought the characters to life.. I cannot understand why they would use someone who could not carry this through making it hard to tell who was speaking .. i suggest that it needs to be re recorded using someone who can actually do all the various accents which gives this story such character.
However I would recommend the whole series to anyone and maybe read book 17 yourself!!!!!

Another wonderful story
As an Aussie I cringed at the narrator's attempt at an Australian accent with Peter, the Aussie soldier. She sounded like a Texan. Penelope Freeman and Julie Maisey do a much better job, for Brits!
