The lifeblood of the Wiltshire village of Ivy Hill is its coaching inn, The Bell. But when the innkeeper dies suddenly, his genteel wife, Jane Bell, becomes the reluctant owner. Jane has no notion of how to run a business. However, with the town's livelihood at stake and a large loan due, she must find a way to bring new life to the inn. Despite their strained relationship, Jane turns to her resentful mother-in-law, Thora, for help.

Good Story Line - Poor choice of narrator.
Revisado: 02-21-23
It is a rather good historic novel with realistic plots.
Unfortunately, the performance of the narrator was abysmal.
Elizabeth Jasicki treated the book with a distinct lack of any show of interest in what she was reading. There was little to no attempt to imagine how each character would deliver each line.
She delivers each speech and the narrative with exactly the same drawling voice as if she could not care a less for the tale, what a disappointment!
I suppose it could be best used to bore the listener to sleep.

The war is only into its second year, but already it has claimed one victim from the Adams family. Emily, Boots's cherished wife, has died in an air-raid, and the whole family mourns her. But for Polly Simms the prospect of a new life dawns, while the members of the younger generation who are in uniform, and doing their bit for king and country, have their own problems to contend with.

What a Treat.
Revisado: 10-30-22
This is a treat for all the family. It is a good clean fun way of dealing with the rigours of East Enders through two world wars and the up and downs in between.
Mary Staples brings every character to life with an individuality that is special to each. Their hopes, their aspirations, their secrets and their romances.
This is set against a backdrop of war times, deprivations and the grit of a proud people.
Well done Mary Jane.
