My Thoughts
Victory Bells for the Harper Girls by Rosie Clarke is the sixth book in the Harpers Emporium Series Saga. Harpers Emporium is a store in London of the same name. It is about the owners, and the employees, their lives and loves, and how WWI has affected them.
The lives of Sally, Ben, Becky, Marion, and Reggie all intertwined to create a believable story of how war affects people. Can their lives continue on finally? The Victory Bells toll, but not all are happy endings. Some people come back, only to have disabilities that must be dealt with. We even have a few spies that still must do their job, even after the war is over. Lives lost, new life opens up a whole new world.
This book/series is about community and how they all come together to help each other cope with what the war has wrought. The whole story revolves around one of London's department stores. There are a lot of characters to try to remember and how they all fit into the story. I think maybe, reading the previous five books may help with this.
I enjoyed the story, a poignant read from start to finish. Do you love a sweet story, this I the read for you! I give it four stars!
I received a copy of the book for review purposes only.
