Meanwhile, the Murphy family, Dermot, Isabella and their three almost grown-up girls, live and work on the estate and do their best to keep everything running smoothly.

Publisher's Summary
Robinswood Estate, County Waterford, Ireland. 1946.
Years of neglect and abandonment have left the family seat of the Keneficks almost derelict, but the new Lord Kenefick and his charming young wife Kate are determined to breathe life into the old house once more.
The war is over, and they have survived, so now they must set about making a bright future for themselves and their family. But the shadows of the past are ever lurking, and there are many who are not willing to see the new Lady Kenefick as anything more than the housekeeper's daughter.
Kate’s family, the Murphys, find themselves once more inextricably entwined with both the Keneficks and Robinswood, but this time everything is different - or at least they hope it is.
The legacy of the war cannot be erased, and the events of those fateful years will not be forgotten. Can Robinswood provide a haven for those who need it, or are the scars of the past too deep?

I'm hooked again!
Jean Grainger is a lovely storyteller. Being Irish and having read a lot about the uprising in 1916 and the IRA later on, I have found this series to be very interesting. It's fascinating to see the class distinctions crumble due to WWII. In all of Grainger's books there is some intrigue which adds to the story. I have read 8 of Ms. Grainger's books so far and all have been at least highly readable and entertaining and most just wonderful!

Theme still holds true today; excellent story and narration
Ms. Grainger’s story is filled with an array of characters from different walks of life, who come together to show that “family” are those you love and who love you, regardless of their backgrounds and past experiences.
The theme of acceptance, tolerance and forgiveness is pervasive and still very relevant today.
It would be wonderful if we could all take these lessons to heart and stop the hate and separation for everyone.
Love these characters so much! I look forward to book 3 and hope she writes more about this wonderful group of people.
Carlene O’Connor is a superb narrator. A bit nervous that the 3rd book has a different narrator.

Enjoying this series
This reader does a great job even with the accents and men's voices.
I like the story line, though there were a couple of inconsistencies from the 1st book. And I do find it odd when a situation is brought up and the character thinks something about it and then the next paragraph the situation is resolved and we never heard about it.
The characters and plot are both really engaging.

Develops the characters
Jean Grainger does a great job developing the characters in her continuation of Robinswood. She shows how the war has effected them in different ways. Her characters span a wide range of ages, social economic backgrounds, and geographic locations. She weaves them together in such an amazing way that she captures the reader into feeling a part of the group. This is an uplifting book you will want to return to more than once.
