Didn't realise this was part of a series when started reading. A few mistakes and it did repeat itself a few times but I did still enjoy it. Not sure if I will read the rest.

Another brilliant book in the saga of a small village in South Wales during the second world war. Their lives are entwined both in happiness and the sadness of losses of loved ones serving abroad. The story is another twist in all their lives and not to be missed. There are further books in the saga which I am now starting
