Rainy Days
for the Harpers Girls
Hard times ahead for the Harpers girls...
It is two years since Harpers opened in Oxford Street and Ben is planning to expand the premises.
Life is good for Sally and Ben as they look forward to their first child and hope for a prosperous future. Beth is settling into married life with Jack, gradually recovering from her aunt’s tragic death, though still unable to conceive a child.
New girls have joined Harpers and Marion, Janice and Becky all become a part of the daily life at the busy store. Rachel is undecided whether to marry a man she isn’t sure she can trust, while Minnie meets an old love.
The sun is shining in English streets but on the horizon dark clouds gather over Europe and war looms
threatening bringing rainy days for the Harpers girls…
THOUGHTS/REVIEW:
I LOVED this book, Rainy Days for the Harper Girls, the third book in the “Welcome to the Harpers Emporium” series. I did read this as a stand alone not having read the previous two books and loved it. He setting is in 1914 Oxford Street, London when the First World War was on-going. The men were going off to the war and the women active in the suffragette movement. This was a tough time for everyone and the rich historical detail was written so well for the reader to be truly transported to that time, and the difficulties experienced by many.
Clarke wrote beautifully and easily read over an afrernoon where the writing will easily immerse you into this riveting story I absolutely enjoyed reading about the characters introduced, the enjoyable daily activities, their struggles, trials and tribulations. Though the war in Europe is in the forefront of the story, there were many heartwarming moments, families growing, new romance and other lovely moments that made this read a really fantastic one.
I hope that this series continues as I would love to hear more about this story and the characters. I highly recommend this book and the other books in the series. Well done Clarke on another fabulous installment.

Okay, I'm sure the book is lovely but... I just HATE the cover of this book. These three women have 21st century faces with 21s century make up on, and look like they're (badly) dressed for Halloween.
