About this listen

The next book in the wonderful, bestselling Harpers Emporium series from Rosie Clarke

The Harpers Girls come face to face with the harsh reality of the cruelty of war.

Oxford Street, London 1915

Sally Harper quietly battles to keep Harpers afloat in the difficult days of the war, whilst husband Ben is working all hours for the War Office.

Beth Burrow is fighting concern for her husband Jack, now at sea with the Merchant Navy, and the fear she may never see him again and be blessed with a child.

Driven to exhaustion, Maggie Gibbs, is now working as a nursing assistant on the battlefields in France. With the everyday horrors of the casualties of war to contend with she suffers her own personal tragedy when her fiancé's plane ditches in the sea.

Can the Harpers Girls and their loved ones survive the perils of war and find a path to future happiness?

A heart-warming saga following the lives, loves and losses of the Harpers Girls.
Perfect for fans of Nadine Dorries, Pam Howes and Dilly Court.

I loved this book. Lots of stories about familiar characters, so cleverly intertwined that I was always eager to find out what happened to them next!
The link with Harpers store was subtly maintained throughout without being intrusive.
I am about to start on the next book!

Much more interesting than the last book.

Great story with excellent female leads involving World War One subject matter. Completely RUINED by the accents from the narrator. Romantic scenes fascial almost comedic! Working class voices felt like they couldn’t speak properly, very poor and insensitive almost discriminated. Other voices sounds like they are speaking through their noses. Made it hard to listen to especially as story line was good. Really spoiled it. I’ve listened to over 200 books but this is by far the worst performance discriminative to working class and women.

Terrible accents

I didn't like the narrator, she made one of the main characters sound really posh when in fact she was an original cockney.

Another lovely story but it’s ruined by the woman narrating it. The one who did the first two books was great but since then it has been terrible. Sally (who is from East London and grew up in an orphanage) is suddenly incredibly well spoken and new character Sadie has the most ridiculous speech impediment that the narrator has made up for her. Ruins it.

Hoping that the next book has gone back to the original voices!

Voice/narrator ruins this

I found myself listening at every opportunity. It was a lovely story.
The accents of some characters have changed since the first book though.

Really looked forward to listening.

Narrator totally spoils the story. Loved the first 2 books with the original narrator but this one is awful.

Good story but awful narrator

I have really enjoyed this series but OMG, the narrator was so bad,, she seemed to be getting confused with which character she was. For instance
Sadie stared fine but near the end she had a lisp and gruff voice.
Sally got posher by each paragraph.
Rachel sounded like a spoilt child and then her accent changed and she grew up a bit…
So disappointed

Wonderful story, narration terrible

Mediocre narrator spoilt what could have been so much better. I enjoyed the story about so many brave men and women. We baby boomers benefited from their sacrifices.

I really enjoyed the series but.....
