A Wedding at Mulberry Lane

The Mulberry Lane Series, Book 2

By: Rosie Clarke

Narrated by: Laura Kirman

Maureen Jackson knew life as a trainee nurse wouldn't be easy, but she didn't expect her hospital to be badly bombed on her first shift. Plus Maureen still has her family and friends in Mulberry Lane to keep her busy - she's needed as much there as she is by her patients.

Running the pub on the corner of Mulberry Lane, Peggy Ashley is used to taking in all sorts of waifs and strays. But the arrival of a dashing American captain has got tongues wagging about Mulberry Lane's favourite landlady....

Janet Ashley's husband is back from the front line. Which is more than so many of the wives of Mulberry Lane. But her beloved Mike is a completely different man from the one she fell in love with - and what's more he doesn't remember her or their young daughter. How do you cope when your darling husband is a virtual stranger?

As WW2 continues around them, the women of Mulberry Lane know that community spirit and friendship are the key to surviving the Blitz.

I love this series!

Easy to follow, lots of interesting characters and stories and the plot moves along quickly. The narrator is great at giving each person their own voice.

A very good story

Mulberry Lane will pull you in! With the interesting characters and daily happenings, I was hooked!

Beautiful

I was not planning on getting the next book in the series but I am very curious to hear how the next book plays out! I’m hooked!

Good story but narration... Not so much

Preferred the first book, storywise and narration. This narrator uses lengthy pauses & over does the cockney accent & kids voices (it sounds hammed up). Also, not much differentiation between character voices so is easy to lose track of which person is speaking.
Sorry

Unpleasant accents

I bought this book because I enjoyed book 1 of the series and wanted to hear what happened next. It isn't the same narrator, and I understand the voices will be different, but in my opinion, most of the characters have very odd, unpleasant accents. I like a good English accent as much as anyone, but these are not enjoyable to listen to at all. And the American accent was painful as well!

I don't think the story line is quite as interesting as the first book, but it's still okay.
