I think this might be one of my favourites of the series. We rejoin Lydia and her husband Noel during the war when they are billeted at a local Manor House. It‘s funny, it‘s sweet and it‘s touching and it‘s a lovely relaxing read.

NB: this has one, maybe two incidences of racist language, about Chinese and Japanese people.

Latest bedtime read. BUT I am super cross that the spine of this one doesn‘t match all the others...

1. Independence
2. Ironing
3. Sometimes it's nice for someone else to make the decisions!
4. Archivist in a very slipshod business archive
5. Value the little things. It's not selfish to sometimes put yourself first. Be strong enough to let the people who hurt you go
