A Time of Hope (Part Five of The People of this Parish Saga)

‘I
believe that this is a time of hope and I pray that we keep faith with the
future with unborn generations entrusted to us and that we never see another
war.’

It is the year 1932
– wealthy, young Alexander Martyn is instantly drawn to pretty, but unsuitable
Mary Sprogett so that their rapidly forming attachment incurs his adoptive
mother’s displeasure.

When Alexander and Mary elope together, a Pandora’s Box is opened and
the secret of Alexander’s birth, long concealed from him, alienates him and
threatens to split the family apart. 
However, when tragedy strikes, Alexander discovers that he needs his
family around him more than ever before.

This continuation of the engrossing saga, The People of This Parish, follows
the lives of the characters in the years leading up to the Second World War,
and charts the impact that the devastating events of that time had on the
Woodville and Yetman families as well as the world at large.

This is
the fifth book in the six part
