<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/div>\nI am delighted to be on the tour to celebrate a new series by Fenella J Miller<\/b>. Wartime Arrivals at Haebour House<\/i> is the first in a historical fiction series which begins in July 1939, just before the outbreak of the Second World War. It was published by Boldwood Books<\/b> on November 29th.<\/span><\/p>\n Elizabeth Roby lives a content and privileged life in London Jonathon informs his family that they have to move from But Elizabeth is devastated. How will she start a new life But with the threat of German bombs hanging over London, she Will the Roby family survive this turmoil? Or will Harbour My Thoughts<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n This is a very promising start to a new series, which shows you all classes of people were evacuated from London and how they settled to their new lives – or not. I found it hard to warm to Elizabeth for most of the story, as she seemed such a brittle character who wanted life to be always on her terms. However, as the story progressed, you glimpsed how her upbringing had shaped her and how hard she found it to open up to people. In contrast, her husband, Jonathan, seemed to have the patience of a saint with her and was determined to press on with his plans to get his children to safety and to a place where they could make friends and settle. It didn’t all go as he planned.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 Elizabeth and Jonathan and their family were not the only new arrivals to Wivenhoe and some newcomers turned life at Harbour House upside down. You were introduced to a variety of people, not all of them likeable and there was snobbery and superiority on show as well as a more warm, welcoming side to human nature.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 Having set up the series, with the onset of the war, I look forward to what happens next on the Home Front.<\/span><\/p>\n In short:<\/i> Major life changes for all About the Author<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fenella J.
