The Girls Who Dared to Love

By: Diney Costeloe

Narrated by: Florence Howard

Three girls seem to have the world at their feet in the summer of 1914. But World War 1 is coming and things will change forever - especially for women.

Lucinda McFarlane is engaged to be married to dashing Sir David Melcome, but their society wedding has to be scaled right down when war is declared. Will David even live to see their baby born?

Mabel Oakley, once a maid for the McFarlanes, has inherited Thomas Clarke’s printing works, but an unexpected turn of events leaves her at the mercy of her father’s old enemy, solicitor John Sheridan, just as she is beginning to fall for his son. What can she do?

Lady Diana Fosse-Bury is incredibly beautiful - and reckless. When war is declared, she immediately wants to be in the thick of it, driving ambulances. Can her budding romance with Lucinda McFarlane’s brother, Iain, possibly survive the Western Front?

Three girls, three destinies, entwined and changed as war looms.

ANOTHER GREAT STORY FROM DINEY COSTELOE!😊

I enjoyed this follow-up book to “The Girl Who Dared to Dream” SO MUCH! I hope there will be a third in the series (who knew Lucinda would turn out to be a NICE person)?

In a follow-up, I would love to see Lucinda turning their big house into a nursing home for the men injured in WWI as she wanted to do.

I’d also love to know what happens with Mabel and Charles! And what happens with David and Lucinda’s son Leo as he grows up.

The narrator for this story, Florence Howard, was excellent, managing a couple of hard accents beautifully.

Thanks Diney for many hours of wonderful entertainment! I hope you are already hard at work on a third book in the series!

Delightful

I didn’t realize this was a sequel to The Girl Who Dared To Dream and I was so excited when I figured it out as the book progressed. I hope there’s a third book on the way to complete storylines. I loved the book and its superb narration. This author has a delicious way with words that make me smile and laugh, especially when paired with the British narrator.

Love this sequel

This book was so good just as good as the first one. I didn't want it to end. I recommend this book.
