J Mary Masters
Reviewed by Helen
It is 1976 and the winds are changing in the Belleville family the Bellville grandchildren Paul, Anthony, Marianne and now John are starting to make their mark on the family with Julia building her new home on Prior Park a replica of the original, life is changing but is it for the better there seems to be a storm brewing with this younger generation how will things work out?
Paul and Amanda are having problems that stem back a few years with two children now, will their marriage survive?
Marianne and Alex also now have two children but again their marriage is on very rocky grown.
Anthony is doing well as an architect and has designed his Aunt Julia’s new home but will he find love?
When the building starts on the new home secrets are uncovered about the first Belleville, Louis and they learn their true origins.
This is a well written story that digs deep into a family with many scandals throughout the year’s lots of ups and downs but still the Belleville family is strong there are a lot of family members and I thoroughly enjoyed it, I am not sure that I am a big fan of all the characters but they are what makes this family and family need different personalities and opinions in them, I have still to read the first three books in this series and am looking forward to them, but this one was easily read with lots of background information and a summary of the family in the front of the book. I would highly recommend this one and the series to any lover of big family sagas that tell a story of a strong family in the times.
My thanks to the author for my digital copy to read and review.
