Description
Brenda Stuart returns to her late husband’s home devastated by his loss only to find herself accused of bestowing favours upon the Germans.
Life has been difficult for her over the war, having been held in an internment camp in France simply because of her nationality. Thankful that her son at least was safe in the care of his grandmother, she now finds that she has lost him too, and her life is in turmoil.
Prue, her beloved sister-in-law, is also a war widow but has now fallen in love with an Italian PoW who works on the family estate. Once the war ends they hope to marry but she has reckoned without the disapproval of her family, or the nation.
The two friends support each other in an attempt to resolve their problems and rebuild their lives. They even try starting a business, but it does not prove easy.

Always in my Heart is a wonderful family drama set from 1939 to just after WW2.
Starting off when Brenda Stuart moves to France with her then boyfriend and soon to become husband Jack, they soon find themselves in the middle of war torn France. Life has been very difficult for Brenda over the war, having been held in an internment camp in France simply because of her nationality. Thankful that her newborn son Tommy at least was safe in the care of his grandmother Camille, she now finds that she has lost him too, and her life is in turmoil. Returning to Britain to look for her son Tommy, Brenda faces more difficulties.
I found Brenda a very strong and likeable character as well as Prue and Emma. Some truly nasty characters as well such as Melissa and her awful husband Gregory.
I found Always in my Heart a welcome and refreshing change from the normal crime and psycho thrillers I tend to read and I highly recommend this lovely book that I found hard to put down.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin (UK) Limited for this ARC and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased and voluntary.

I love books set around the second World War and love Freda Lightfoot’s writing style.
Brenda loses her husband in the war and comes home to his family hoping to find her little boy who spent the war with one of the aunts. She faces a lot of opposition and has a tough time settling back into life in Britain.
We follow family issues, relationships and a lot of WW2 history and I was drawn in from the start. We heard about life in the camps and very daring escapes. We go back in time to her life with her husband and the troubles in the war, back to her trying to win over his family when she returns and they refuse to believe that they were married.
This was a real treat..
