Another great read from Rosie Clarke. Beautifully written with great story lines with all their twists and turns and great characters which made for a real page turner. It was lovely being back with the family at Harpers. Loved it.

Troubled Times at Harpers by Rosie Clarke explores what England and America were like before the start of the Depression for the Harper family and the families that worked in their department store.
Rosie Clarke composed this story that made me feel like I had a vested interest in each person. I was living the moments, the joys, and the heartaches.
I want there to be more about this family. I am in love with this family and the employees that they call family..

“Troubled Times at Harper” is part nine of a series by Rosie Clarke. When I requested this book, I didn’t know that it was part of a series, which is my fault, not the author’s. Ms. Clarke does a good job of bringing the reader up to speed about who is who and what has happened, but for a while I felt like I was watching the TV program “Mr. Selfridge” which revolves about a store and its employees. This book took me a while to get into - keeping track of the characters took a while. I found the history of the UK in the late 1920s to be well researched. I cannot say that I’ll be continuing the series, but I know I would’ve enjoyed this book more if I’d read a previous book in the series. The writing was good, but it didn't always hold my interest because I was playing catch-up for so much of the book. I think if you've read this series, this book is a great addition.
