Background information from the author
I'd originally intended to do only three books about the Gibson Family, but my agent said he thought I could write more, so I gulped and started thinking about what else could happen to Annie. That's how Book 4 in the ongoing saga came to be written, though each book is complete in itself.
I'd originally intended to do only three books about the Gibson Family, but my agent said he thought I could write more, so I gulped and started thinking about what else could happen to Annie. That's how Book 4 in the ongoing saga came to be written, though each book is complete in itself.
This book has more darker tension in it than the others in the series (though you'll never find gratuitous violence in my books). Annie's husband Frederick is not well, and it takes her a while to realise that someone is trying to kill her. She meets a new man who is interested in her and whom she finds intriguing - Tian Gilchrist - but she loves Frederick and does not pursue that interest. Her step-daughter is having a hard time and her son isn't happy at university. In spite of Frederick's gentle urging not to take the entire burden of the Gibson family on her shoulders, Annie can't help feeling concerned.
The book also follows the civic developoment of the growing town of Bilsden (hence the title) and portrays a wide range of fascinating characters. It has, in my opinion, the warmest ending of all the Gibson family books, the sort that makes you say 'Aaaah, how lovely!' when you've finished it. I wrote it and I still get 'happy tears' in my eyes when I re-read the ending.
I hope you enjoy the book, too. I certainly loved writing it. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

I read this book in two days and found it very hard to put down. It's not only a family saga but also a mystery. My mother was right. Ms. Jacobs has picked up where the late great Catherine Cookson left off. Thank God for writers like these that write about life and not that other trash masquerading as Victorian romance where the hero never wears a shirt and has his leading lady bent over backwards.

THIS IS THE 4TH IN THE GIBSON FAMILY SERIES. THEREFORE I RECOMMEND THAT YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY READ SALEM STREET, HIGH STREET AND RIDGE HILL BEFORE HALLAM SQUARE.
HAVING READ THE FIRST THREE IN THE SERIES, HALLAM SQUARE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT AS THE 4TH IN THE SERIES. IT CLEVERLY CONTINUES ON, LEAVING YOU HOOKED ON EACH OF THE CHARACTERS. THIS IS A GRIPPING READ AND ANNA JACOBS EXCELLANTLY NUTURES ALL OF HER CHARACTERS, SO THAT THEY ARE ALL VERY MUCH INDIVUDUALS, FROM THE YOUNGEST TO THE OLDEST. I LOVE THIS PERIOD OF HISTORY AND SHE COVERS IT WELL. I HAVE NOW ORDERED SPINNERS LAKE UNFORTUNATELY THE LAST IN THE GIBSON FAMILY SERIES, AND I CANNOT WAIT TO START IT. I AM NOW LOOKING FOR MY NEXT ANNA JACOBS SERIES TO ABSORB MYSELF IN.

I am enjoying this series. Pity out of print as good as any Anna Jacobs has written. she does give a good acconnt of life in the 19th Century which I am finding revealing.
