Review

Fans of Katie Flynn will love this Peterborough Evening Telegraph This emotional rollercoaster tale of love and betrayal, darkness and light, hope and despair, recalls the powerful sense of loyalty and shared adversity that helped mining communities to survive the hardships of unemployment and tragedy. Felton has a natural empathy for the people and their landscape and this enables her to evoke time and place so convincingly and to write about their lives and loves with such genuine affection and warmth Lancashire Evening Post From the poverty of a mining town in Somerset to the bright lights of London music halls this story definitely had me hooked and once I had read the first few chapters I couldn't put it down. There are many twists and turns throughout the book which helped keep my interest. Jennie Felton's wonderful description of life in the early nineteen hundreds brought this story and it's characters to life. I'm eagerly awaiting book number three -- Books With Wine And Chocolate Believable characters, a vivid sense of time and place, thoroughly enjoyable -- Rosie Goodwin Enthralling ... Jennie Felton ... writes her stories straight from the heart ... evokes time and place with compelling authenticity, and conjures up a feisty heroine and a cast of engaging characters Lancashire Evening Post Has everything a family saga should have - happiness, extreme sadness, love, death, births, etc. but above all it was a real page turner ... Thank you, Jennie, for writing such a wonderful book Boon's Bookcase If you like the style of Catherine Cookson, Josephine Cox or Katie Flynn then you'll enjoy this Books With Wine And Chocolate
