Summary

A standalone saga set in Yorkshire at the outbreak of the second world war and the unlikely relationship between a master and servant.

As a small child, Nellie Peace was always dreaming but sensed her mother’s rejection.

Abandoned and sent into service at Beaumont House at an early age, Nellie is lost and alone until she meets the unpredictable and reclusive artist, Lucas Harrington and falls in love with him.

This unlikely association between master and servant is encouraged by Lucas’s gentle natured Aunt Alice as Lucas sees something unusual in Nellie and is compelled to paint her.

Broken promises lead to inevitable heartbreak and Nellie flees Beaumont House in disgrace for London.

Alone again, Nellie must learn to live and fend for herself and her new-born child.

Can Nellie win a second chance of happiness and can she solve the mystery of her mother's tortured past?

Nellie's Heartbreak was previously published as ALL THEIR DAYS in hardback by Linda Sole.

Great read

Really enjoyed listening to this book,although I found the narrator a little irritating at times, however this didn’t detract from a great story.

Love lost, Love found.

A great story, with many twists and turns, A homely look on life, during the war, without concentrating on the war. A rare look into life in the Big House kitchen, I enjoyed every word.

Nellie's heartbreak

Was brilliant story but the narrating did spoil it. The speed reading and breathless peaches when suppose to be explain things. Awful voice overs won't be lustening to any of the narrators books again which means I might miss good stories

Another great book from Rosie Clarke

I enjoyed this book from start to finish. A few inaccuracies (eg in the book QC -Queens Councel was wrong. King George VI was still alive during WWII. Therefore, title would KC - Kings Counsel) but only minor & didn’t spoil my enjoyment.

Dreadful narration

Really didn’t enjoy this book, I think it was mostly down to the over dramatic narration, I almost didn’t continue with it, what a shame.
