Although much of it is set against a backdrop of war, devastation, and destruction, it is a tale of humanity and the triumph of human spirit. There are accounts of tragedy and heartbreak but also anecdotes about hidden strength, silver linings, and humorous situations. Beginning with my grandfather Joseph Patrick Murphy, a colorful character and highly decorated veteran of the Great War, it then traces my mother Eileen's early days growing up in Liverpool.

Admittedly not being much of a history buff, I wasn't sure if I would be interested in this audio book. Happily, any doubts that I had vanished within minutes of hearing this wonderfully and lovingly written and narrated collection.
The rich and delightful stories of the remarkable Eileen Murphy's bravery, humor, kindness and love drew me in completely. Both charming and heartbreaking, I went from laughing out loud one moment to reaching for the tissue box to wipe away my tears the next. Experiencing Tuppence for Violets was so thoroughly enjoyable and captivating that I gave it a second listen!
The author's considerable writing, acting and voice talents made it all the more special and entertaining knowing that he was performing significant aspects of his own family's history.
I'm sure the Murphys, Karsteters and especially, the lovely Eileen, in their current realms are beaming with joy and appreciation over their stories being so beautifully documented for all to hear! BRAVO, Christopher!!!
