Book 1 in the Jubilee Lake series

By: Anna Jacobs

Narrated by: Catherine Harvey

The first novel in the heartwarming and gripping new Jubilee Lake series, from million-copy bestseller Anna Jacobs

Lancashire, 1895. When her controlling stepfather suddenly dies, it seems that Elinor Pendleton finally has a chance of freedom. But her hopes are soon dashed when she learns that the thuggish Jason Stafford has inherited every penny, and is determined to have Elinor too.

Forced to flee with her beloved maid, Maude, Elinor finds shelter with Maude's distant cousin in the remote village of Ollerthwaite, on the shore of Jubilee Lake.

But Walter Crossley has troubles of his own. Having lost his closest family in a tragic accident, he needs one of his grandsons to return from America to inherit his farm - and when practical, kindhearted Cameron arrives, he appears to be the perfect heir.

But is this young man everything he seems? And will Elinor's secret wish to have a family of her own ever come true...?

Critic reviews

In Silver Wishes Anna cleverly introduces the main characters then brings them all together as the story builds leaving you to speculate how it is going to play out. It draws you in from the start, but be prepared for twists along the way. An absolutely brilliant read

Wonderful!

I was so sorry when the story ended, I could have listed for hours more, definitely one of Ms. Jacob’s best books

Silver Wishes

I loved the journey of the characters. The times period was wonderful. It’s to escape to different times and believe. The author is great I all her books.

very disappointing

I like reading from this author but this one didn't make it I like the start of the story thinking it will get better the characters are boring and a little silly the narrator was the worst her voice goes up and down sometimes whispering she puts no emotion in her reading she makes the male characters sounds soft ,frilly and sweet not my kind of guys I had a hard time finishing this book if the some narrator reads the next one in the series I will save my credit

disappointed

I did not enjoy this book. I normally do enjoy the author, but this one was not up to scratch.
the narrator has a voice which keeps going soft, which makes it annoying to listen to.
