About this listen

It is 1953 - Coronation year - and like all of Cockney London the members of the Adams family are looking forward to the celebrations. Chinese Lady, now Lady Finch, worries that her friends will think she is too grand to mingle with them. But her husband has a more pressing worry - the sudden appearance of the lovely but mysterious Katje Galicia, who knows more than she should about his own chequered past.

Young Jimmy Adams, meanwhile, is enjoying working at the family clothing factory, where at the retirement party for two of the oldest employees, Bert and Gertie Roper, he meets their lively granddaughter Clare. Before long he has offered her a job on the switchboard and has hopes of seeing her after working hours as well. And brave Felicity, blinded in the blitz, thinks she notices a glimmer of light appearing in her dark world - but dare not tell her husband, in case it is just her imagination....

With the young queen now on the throne, times are changing for the Adams family.

The only criticism I have with this book is with Jimmy every time he sees Clara not asking out right about her so called boyfriend. Otherwise another excellent book.

Another wonderful and sometimes funny book

I have never enjoyed a large series of books as much as I have loved these! I love all the characters especially Boots, they are such well written books I’m dreading finishing the last one! I just know I’ll start again! and what can I say about Annie Aldington she’s a brilliant narrator she really puts you there in the room with the family, best books I’ve ever listened to x

I will be rereading all these constantly!
