Publisher's summary

The third book in a moving and heartwarming World War II saga series. Perfect for listeners of Ellie Dean and Annie Groves and for fans of the Home Fires series.

Dover 1940

As firebombs fall on Dover, Edie Castle's life is thrown into turmoil when the garage where she lives and works is damaged and her beloved boss is arrested.

With no job and nowhere else to go, Edie returns to Castle's Café and her formidable mother, Nellie. Living with her mother is never easy, but tensions reach boiling point when an old friend of Nellie's arrives looking for a place to stay.

Meanwhile, desperate to clear her boss's name, Edie turns to his nephew for help. But when the café is engulfed in scandal, a shocking tragedy brings long-buried memories to the surface, and Edie realises she can't trust anyone—not even her own mother...

Wow what a story!

I really got hooked on this series and couldn’t wait for this to be released. It was well worth the wait!
This is the best of them all. Beautifully written and performed.
Being a 57 year old, heterosexual male, I’m sure I’m not the target demo but you can’t deny a great story!
Can’t wait for the next

Excellent

I really enjoyed this series, with The Dover Cafe under Fire being the best. The ending was a little abrupt but perhaps leaving the reader/listener wanting more is a mark of a good book. Excellent narration.

When is the next one???

I absolutely love this series. The characters are like family members and the stories are so wonderful. Twists and turns, joy and heartache, love and hate, all set during WW2 in a wonderful place called Dover. "If Dover Falls, England Falls." This series has everything. Looking forward to the next book. Is it ready yet???

Another good story, rushed ending

I was on pins and needles waiting for this book to be released; I even preordered it! I have enjoyed this series immensely! The characters have become friends. This book was no different until the end. The ending felt rushed, like the author was running out of pages or ideas or time and just threw it together. It wasn’t even really what could be described as a cliffhanger. It was quite a disappointment. I am unable to determine whether there will be a sequel in the series or if this is how the story is to be left. I’m hopeful for another book to redeem the way this one ended. Bea Holland is an incredible narrator. She does a fabulous job and is a pleasure to listen to.

Was a little disappointed

I still enjoyed the series and liked this book but it feels rushed and undone. There is leaving a cliff hanger and then there is not completed. This book left me feeling Unfinished soI hope you write another to end the series or at least give some look into the future as to how everyone ended up. Ugg and I spent $16 dollars to have this unfinished feeling.
