War Clouds Over Blackberry Farm by Rosie Clarke

A Warm Welcome

War Clouds Over Blackberry Farm by Rosie Clarke is a charming historical novel opening in Britain in 1939 as war is approaching.

The action alternates between Norfolk and London. Both have a community spirit that is warm and welcoming. The countryside residents work together to ensure the farms still run. Land girls from London arrive too.

Dreams keep us pressing forward. As we follow a character, we witness her strength and tenacity to pursue her dream and to press forwards.

The characters are well drawn, likable and realistic. Their love and care reach beyond the pages to envelop the reader.

There is also an air of menace – not just from the war but on the home front. The reader reads with intrepidation and a rising heart rate.

War Clouds Over Blackberry Farm will delight the reader as we escape for a few hours to the Norfolk countryside.

I received a free copy via Net Galley from Rachel’s Random Resources. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.

Cambridgeshire – March 1939

As the clouds of war begin to gather in Europe, the Talbot family of rural Blackberry Farm will be torn apart, just as so many families all over the world will be. Life will never be the same again.

Whilst in London, the Salmons family will feel the pain of parting and loss.

Brought together by war, the two families become intertwined and, as the outlook looks bleak, they must draw on each other’s strength to fight through the hard times.

Lizzie Johnson and Tom were sweethearts until a mistake caused a terrible rift. Lizzie takes herself off to London to heal the pain in a glamorous new job but she still loves Tom. His pride has been hurt – but deep down inside Tom still cares. Can they find happiness before their chance is gone and the whole word is swept into the terrible madness of war?
