HTML: For fans of the hugely popular Downton Abbey television series and lovers of British historical sagas, award-winning author Murray Pura continues the enthralling story of the Danforths of Lancashire. The second book in the series (following Ashton Park) transports the reader back in time to 1924 as Sir Williamâ??recently named Lord Prestonâ??celebrates his sixtieth birthday at the Danforth summer home in Dover. Although the ravages of World War I are in the past, new threats loom as a man named Adoph Hitler publishes a book called Mein Kampf. Is he a danger to Europe? And what of Lord Preston's growing friendship with an up and coming political leader named Winston Churchill? On the home front, one of the Danforth daughters, the recently widowed Catherine, sells her home in Belfast to spend more time at Doverâ??where she finds herself annoyed at the impertinent German theologian her father has befriended. The entire Danforth family faces many changes as illness and tragedy strike. Young Edward finally makes his move into the political arena while Michael and Libby welcome a new family member. Readers will be captivated by the upstairs/downstairs interplay as they once again savor this compelling saga of the well-loved Danforth family overcoming obstacles by placing their trust in the God who has always been faithful.

Rejoining the Danforth family in this 2nd book of the Downtown Abbeyish series as they move through the vagaries of family, culture and politics of the era prior to WWI.
Canadian author, Murray Pura, excels at priming our emotions with unexpected betrayal on the political front as he describes first hand relational details. Family relationships thrive and suffer, increase and decrease, and the reader is carried along with the emotional tide according to ties formed with characters throughout both books to date.
Pura's descriptives are excellent at placing the reader within settings and action they can picture first hand. The one difficulty I had was with some uncharacteristic actions of two of the characters in a particular scene. But the buildup of anticipation for the concluding story far surpasses the difficult issue of book two.
I do look forward to release of the 3rd book of the series, London Dawn. (
