London 1950
Peggy Ronoscki is happily settling into life running her guesthouse on Mulberry Lane, surrounded by close friends and family. Life just seems too good…
But then disaster strikes.
Pip, her beloved son is left in a coma following a devastating car crash and a young girl collapses in the market leaving Peggy no option but to nurse her back to health.
As things begin to go awry, Peggy worries she has brought trouble to her doorstep?
Can her life ever return to normal? Or has Peggy’s good nature led her astray?
My Thoughts.
This is the seventh instalment of the Mulberry Lane series, and after reading and loving all the previous books I simply could not wait to dive in to this one.
The book begins with Peggy, who has returned to London. She is as busy as she has always been, but as she has her family and friends close by, she is very content with her life here.
Peggy is a well known and loved member of the community, and is known by all to have a bug heart and her willingness to help anyone who needs it has certainly placed her as a pillar within the community. However, Peggy’s trusting, compassionate nature could end up causing her trouble when she meets a young girl who seems to be in need of help. There is clearly more to the story than what the girl is letting on, but Peggy is loving as always and does her best to help this young girl none the less.
And then we catch up with Shirly, who I must admit has been a firm favourite of mine throughout this series. Shirley and Richard head away for the summer to get some work before she is due to start college. It has been truly delightful experiencing Shirley as she matures and grows as an individual.
This story was so beautiful and heart warming, and well and truly captivated me from the start. I adored all of the characters in which we have come to know and love throughout this captivating series. This book brought a brand new storyline to life. The situations in which the characters find themselves in throughout is realistic and something people on a normal, every day basis could easily experience, which for me made it effortless to connect with the characters and the challenges in which they faced.
This book is beautifully written, with a story that truly captivates you from the start. I simply could not put this book down. The ending was perfection, and although it was lovely to see what would become of the characters, I did find myself incredibly sad that this fabulous story had come to an end. I will be eagerly anticipating future additions to this engrossing series.
