New Release - Beneath the Dover Sky - Murray Pura

Dear Readers,
I am kind of a Johnny come lately when it came to Downton Abbey.  I didn’t really start watching it until this past season, and then I couldn’t get enough of it.  I watched to two seasons I missed in about 3 days.  Loads of emotion involved, but oh so good.

Murray Pura came onto the fiction market just a few short years ago with an interesting series about the US during and just before WWI.  Then he started a series that is set in the era and setting of Downton Abbey.  It is a good way to fill the day’s in-between the seasons of Downton, but they are not long enough.

In Beneath the Dover Sky he picks up the story of the Danforths of Lancashire.   Sir William is now Lord and though the country is recovering for WWI there is a new politic threat arising in Europe, a man named Adolf Hitler is saying and writing things that gets some attention and it is not all good.

Michael and Libby welcome a new family member and Catherine is not amused by the theologian that her father has befriended. 

Once again you will be caught up in the wonderful delightful tales of life in the English countryside.  As the different storylines continue you will, like me, will find yourself wishing you could step into the pages of the book and join the family.


Happy Reading
