Product Description

Product Description

When Rose Brown’s husband is killed at Dunkirk in 1940, she feels as though she’s lost a part of herself. Rose can’t imagine the future without Ray, but she’s certain he would have wanted her to start again. She decides to volunteer as a postwoman in West London, and when she courageously rescues a young boy from a bombed-out house and takes him home, she finds a new sense of purpose.

Traumatised from losing his mother in the ruins, seven-year-old Alfie is also rebellious and withdrawn. However, he touches the hearts of Rose's family, and with kindness, patience and love, they eventually win his trust. But then a handsome stranger, Johnny Beech, turns up on the doorstep, looking for his son, and everything changes…

4.0 out of 5 stars Never dark and always shining!, 1 Jan 2008
By Joanne D'Arcy (Portsmouth, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I always enjoy Pamela Evans sagas, and this was just as good. The main charcters, Alfie, Rose, Johnny and Hazel all link together to create a good story.

Rose and Alfie's relationship is the most tender and the development of the little boy who is trapped after the blitz kills his mother and traps him in the family home is heart wrenching. With no other living relatives Alfie suddenly discovers his father, Johnny - a journey hard for both of them to discover the love for each other.

As with all Pamela Evans books, there is always one character who makes you want to scream - you can see what they are like, but no one else in the story can - it takes a few hundred pages, until the rest of the characters discover how much Hazel wants to make them scream as well!

The minor charcters are just as relevant in this book, Joe and Alan (Rose's brothers) journey through the age of being accepted for service during the war and the dangers it brings for the former and finding confidence in himself, for the latter brother. Joyce also reflects a time when falling in love proved to be a difficult when you had people away at war.

My only critcism of this book, was although there was obviously a secret between Bill and May, Rose's parents, it was not made intriguing enough throughout the book and was wrapped up in a few pages towards the end by the arrival of a very very minor charcter who brings the whole tale stumbling out. This thread could have made even more of a page turner for the book, than it already was. Not enough to put me off reading anymore of her books.
