This review is from: With a Little Luck (Paperback)

Anne Baker writes great family sagas. I have enjoyed each one that I have read, they are set around the same area of the Mersy in England but at different times. So far each book has had a different story.

This one is about Alice Luckett and her family. When the book starts Alice is 9 years old and the year is 1928 and her father has just died, at the end of the book Alice is 19 and it is 1938. Alice goes to live with her grandparents Edith and Monty and her Uncle Peter. She becomes very close to the people next door Nell and Eric Ainslie. There is also Uncle Frank, Aunt Cecily and her cousin Madison. Frank and Monty both have secrets.

I really enjoyed this book.
