In totally in love with all the characters in BlackBerry farm, I can't wait for the third instalment, hope it's not too long to wait, I love the way you describe your characters. Thank you' - Reader Review
Again Rosie Clarke has written another fabulous addition to this superb series. As like the previous books I came completely absorbed in the characters and the story from the first page. This is one of my absolute favourite war time saga series. It can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading the other two books in this delightful series. ' - Reader Review
