<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/div>\nI am delighted to be on the tour to celebrate the next in the Harbour House series by Fenella J Miller<\/b>. All Change at Harbour House<\/i>\u00a0 begins in May 1940,with the Second World War underway. It is published today by Boldwood Books<\/b> on June 8th.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/span> A moment that changes everything…<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n The war continues to rage, but for now, Harbour House Housemaid, Annie Thomas, initially disliked Richard and his As their friendship develops, so too do their feelings for But war changes everything and with the fear of imminent Will they overcome the social divides between them and find \u00a0In this story, you can appreciate the social changes which the war is causing, especially as it is affecting the role of women in society. With more independence and the opportunity to take on traditionally male jobs, women found themselves in a changing world. However, many of the pre-war attitudes and opinions continued. Above all, you feel that on the Home Front, everyone is concentrating on ‘doing their bit’ to aid the war effort.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 Life at Harbour House has settled somewhat although there are still some difficult times. Emily, the oldest of the Roby children is on the cusp of adolescence but still a child. She seems to be expected to take on many of the caring duties for her sibling. The friendship which develops between Annie, the maid and Richard, the <\/b>lodger gives you a window into the tensions between the classes. Annie is considered to be much lower in her social standing than Richard who has had an affluent upbringing. However, wartime is breaking down those barriers. I enjoyed the references to actual historical events, particularly the evacuation from Dunkirk and as ever, the period detail feels spot on.\u00a0<\/b>This is an enjoyable addition to the series.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n In short: the war comes close to home\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n About the Author<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Fenella J.
