A Place Called Home: (The Cliffehaven Series Book 19)

So glad we can read another Cliffehaven book. It is now 1946 and Jim Riley has come home from the horrors of Burma and India but he is suffering from what was called Battle Fatigue although Jim like a lot of men refused to believe there was anything wrong with him until one day he met again his old mate Ernie who had been badly injured and was now confined to a wheelchair and dying. Poor Peggy has a lot to put up, what with Jim, Ron up to his old tricks again, looking after her youngest child Daisy and helping to look after the family when her daughter Anne has her baby and also being there for Ruby whose Mother Ethel has come back to Cliffehaven after being sent to prison. And also not forgetting her snooty sister Doris. Reading about Jim's experience in Burma with the Chindits made me think of my dear late father Bob who was in the Chindits and fought in Burma and India like Jim he never spoke of what he went through, men in those days came home from war and were expected to get on with their lives but like Jim a lot of them found it very difficult and it was also very difficult for the wives like Peggy. I really enjoyed this book and I do hope there will be another one sometime.

As always Ellie Dean has delivered perfection!! I have read this series from the very beginning and it has gone from strength to strength!! I really feel like all the characters are my best friends and can picture myself sitting around the kitchen table or standing at the bar of the Anchor pub and feeling like I'm part of the right knit community that is Cliffehaven. I just cannot wait for the next book!!Ellie Dean, your husband would be so proud of you!!!!!

Ellie Deans Cliffehaven series has been absolutely brilliant. I have read read the whole series through many times and will do so again. This book, number 19 in the series was a wonderful catch up with the Reilly family and friend's. I don't know if Ellie will continue further with the series. I can only hope so because it's such a warm, interesting and riveting read. Well done Ellie and thank you for another great read. Xxx

I enjoyed every word of this book just like the previous books in this series, I just hope there are more to come, I started reading this earlier today it's is now 2.45 am I just couldn't put it down till I finished it. Well done Ellie Dean if I could give it 10 stars I would it's a brilliant addition to add to the series.

If you have read the other Cliffehaven books then you know what I mean by this book wraps you up in the family again. Thank you Ellie Dean recommend it highly.

So lovely to be back with Peggy and the Reilly family for the 19th installment of the Cliffehaven series. Such a wonderful series and fans of the previous books will not be disappointed with this latest visit to the seaside. Highly recommended.
