This is the first in a series of three family chronicles by Harriet Evan’s and I can’t wait to read the next ones.

The story is in several parts but is all have a link to n English house which we learn at the beginning is now up for sale after being in the same family since the Second World War.

The first part of the story is about a teenager, Alice, who lives in a small town near New York. We wonder how she could be connected to the English house, but things start to become clearer at the end of the book.
In the second part of the book we meet a young boy who has spent his early years in a remote Scottish hamlet but is taken by his aunt to live in post war London. There are some well written scenes and the author conveys the era extremely well. Bomb sites, teddy boys and the windrush immigrants all feature.
The third part of the story moves to New York in The 1960s hippy era and again, the writing is very good and the reader feels like they are there.
I devoured this book and am looking forward to the next one. I was disappointed when it ended and I have to wait to find out more,

Thank you to the publisher and net galley for this advance copy.

As ever an utterly engrossing story of the families that birth us and those we make ourselves. I was riveted and delighted to once again be immersed in one of Evans' stories.

I have always enjoyed Harriet Evan’s novels in the past and The Treasures is no exception. There are family secrets spanning the UK and America and a cast of interesting characters. At the heart of the story is a mysterious house set in the English countryside. While this is part one of a trilogy it can definitely be enjoyed in its own right. Many thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this novel

I'm glad the author, Harriet Evans has made it clear that "The Treasures" is book 1 of 3 in the Sevenstones Trilogy. As a result, it meant I could relax knowing that if I had any questions then they would be answered in future books. Saying that you could read this book as a standalone. This is very much a character driven family saga with Sevenstones (a house) very much at its heart. Set in the UK and the US this book spans many years and many miles. Looking forward to finding out what happens next with Tom and Alice.
