Once again another book which I could not put down once I started reading it. Everything else had to wait while I had to find out how the Adams family tried to adjust to life after the war. As always it was so easy to read about so many family members and follow their lives. Once again a very enjoyable read and I can not wait for the next installment.

Mary Jane Staples does it again! As with all her other books I just couldn't put it down, the way the family interacts with each other is just wonderful. I can't wait for Sons and Daughters.

While leaving us in a state of wanting, from the Year of Victory this new title from Mary Jane does not let us down. A heart felt story of love and joy at the end of the war while still making the reader want more. I could not put the book down, and at times whilst the discription's of the court scene's turned my stomach, and when members of the family are in danger making me want to skip a couple of chapters, to make sure that they are OK, I felt compelled to carry on to the end, turning each page one by one.
Again the characters seem life like and actually make you feel that you know the families relating to each chapter. For the last few years Mary Jane, has played a part in my life and with this new book she does not disappoint. All the while making you feel like you are actually stood next to the characters and are watching the scene unfold before your eyes.
Boots as ever making you feel joyous and even when he takes the fall, always giving you hope that he will pull through, for although the family take "Chinese Lady" for the head of the family, in a true readers eyes it has to be Boots that is.
All the usual family characters appear, if at times not as much as you'd want, I for one would like to know how the younger characters are coping with life and families that we have met are getting on. This I feel is the only thing letting the book down.
Wonderfully written and I for one am dreading the end of the Adams family.
