Summary

1912. Fifteen-year-old Kate Truscott leaves her small Hampshire village to become a nursemaid to five children she's never met. She's looking forward to a new adventure. Life in town with the wealthy Winton family is different to anything Kate has known before. But she enjoys looking after her charges, becoming firm friends with Clara, the eldest daughter, and noticing that 18-year-old Philip, the eldest son, is so very handsome. But Kate knows that she would be considered an unacceptable match for a wealthy banker's son, so when gardener Archie asks her to walk out with him, Kate agrees, though her heart belongs to Philip. Then war breaks out. Both Philip and Archie enlist in the army and head to France, leaving Kate bereft. And pregnant. Facing the horrors of the workhouse, what will happen to Kate as a penniless unmarried mother in wartime?

Well written and beautifully read

I picked this book because I loved the sound of Jenny Bryce's voice I have previously heard in a thriller book. So I looked up for what else she had done and came across this one. I though I might enjoy the content as well and also it would make a change to what I read usually. The book is well written and I really enjoyed it. I listened to it while driving to work and it made my journey shorter. I wouldn't recommend it to my husband because it is a bit soppy but you can tell from the description.
