But with her husband\u2019s health failing, can Danuta\u2019s promise be fulfilled?<\/p>\n<p>Then a bitter winter storm cuts the town off. Peggy Reilly and the rest of Cliffehaven must pull together to survive.<\/p>\n<p>My Review <\/p>\n<p>So first off this is book twenty one in a series, I did not know this lol but it is all good and after reading this I will be going back, buying book one and starting there. It is 1947, folk are still feeling the effects post war, we meet (or if you know the series, reacquaint) with Polish refugee nurse Danuta and her husband Stan. Danuta made a promise to Grace she would look after her two children, one being a baby. It is all a bit precarious, adoption has a lot of expectation an standards, Stan has health issues with his stumps (amputee), they both work and struggle to make ends meet. However a promise is a promise and they will do what they can to keep their word, plus Danuta has always wanted a family, after the tortures during the war she cannot have her own. It is an emotive multifaceted road Danuta is on, many struggles and hurdles facing her, can she get the family she always wanted despite the odds stacked against her.<\/p>\n<p>So I am absolutely getting the other books, it is a small community, it has what you know in these wee towns, classism, snobbery, even when you are all a bit skint there are folks who will gossip and judge so we do see a bit of that. Danuta and Stan are so in love and clearly already been through so much, I reckon if you know the previous books things will pack a bit more of an emotive punch but I still liked it and got it despite this being my first foray into the series, 4\/5 for me.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"40\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-crR6JP85kkY\/TtE7iCod-jI\/AAAAAAAAAHM\/QAHNU1rGlzA\/s200\/lainy4stars.gif\" width=\"160\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/3642368-lainy\">View all my reviews<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Promises to Keep by Ellie Dean My rating: 4 of 5 stars Time taken to read &#8211; in and out over 3 days Publisher &#8211; Penguin books Pages &#8211; 383 Blurb from Goodreads The year of 1947 is almost upon them, and the community of Cliffehaven is still reeling from the tragic loss of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":169550,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[101],"tags":[4645,8308,16112],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-169549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books","tag-dean","tag-ellie","tag-promises"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
