More About the Author

Hi,I am Lilian Harry and am delighted to welcome you to my Author Central page. I've been writing for a long time now, under the name Donna Baker as well as Lilian Harry, and most of my books are classed as 'historical novels', including those set during the Second World War (which is slightly hurtful, since I remember it....) I grew up near Portsmouth in Hampshire, have lived in Devon, Herefordshire and the Lake District (my favourite place!) and am now back in Devon on the edge of Dartmoor, where I am out every day walking my miniature schnauzer. Apart from writing, I ring bells, take part in amateur dramatics, go to concerts, theatre etc, read and play bridge - but only with very tolerant, forgiving people who like me a lot. (Or on the computer!) I would like to be cloned so that I can do all these things simultaneously.

4.0 out of 5 stars A joy to read, December 8, 2009

I really enjoyed this book. The author presents a gallery of people who you get to care about. She moves the story forward logically and in a comfortable pace and ties up everything nicely in the end. A story about how people manage to move on, overcome hardship, and how people can help and support each other. At the same time, the book captures the time period and the feelings of young and old people in the beginning of the 1950s. Based upon reading this book, I am going to order the rest of the series, and I look forward to curling up in a comfortable chair with them.

May be a nice airplane book, but for easy chair reading, it disappoints. Lacks complexity and finesse. Characters are pathetically one diminsional.
