Summary
Book one in beloved author Anna Jacobs' brand-new Birch End series.
Jo Melling has arrived in Birch End from Australia, still grieving her father's recent death. She's not intending to stay long, but after tracking down her distant family, Jo becomes more involved in village life than she could ever have imagined - and suddenly in danger, too.
Jo also finds herself drawn to Nick, a handsome newcomer to the village. Nick had planned to settle in Birch End and start a business, but as he grows closer to Jo, he realises he may have to choose between his dreams and a chance at love.
Meanwhile, the new local council are faced with some tough decisions of their own. It's time to take a stand against the poor conditions in Backshaw Moss, the nearby slum, but some councillors want things to stay as they are - and will go to any lengths to make sure they get their way....
Will the decent people of the valley win a brighter future for themselves? And can Jo find a way to stay with Nick in a place she's grown to love?

Fabulus beginning to this saga.
Recently read the first book in the Rivenshaw sereies and really enjoyed it. As the saga's are linked I decided to start the first book in burch end before going onto the next Rivenshaw book and will now be going onto the first book in Bagshaw moss given that the events in this saga seem to happen between burch end and Rivenshaw. I like the way the 3 sagas show progression as the war is progressing and ended as it is by the time Rivenshaw is written.
This first book did not dissapoint as I said in my review of the first Rivenshaw book i read Ellandale a few years a go and really loved it and so far the other sagas in the vally have not let me down. I'm looking forward to continueing these three series simaltaniously and meeting the new characters as they unfold plus hopefully catching up with old characters. With the characters who appeared in this book it was lovely to meat some of the old characters from the ellandale saga and find out how there progressing. Nick and Joes relationship blosseming was lovely to see and the way they supported each other and Tess was touching. The author has clearly done her research about these times and portrade the hardship really well. The Narator Julia Franklin dispite clearly not being from the north was fantastic with her lankishire and AUstrailian accents and really did a good job of giving each character there own voice. She was as good as Anne Dover who read the ellindale saga and i'm looking forward to enjoying the rest of this collection of books.

Another great read
I loved this! Impossible to stop listening to... Anna Jacobs is one of the best storytellers of our time and provides the best distraction to today's hectic world, taking you back in time to harder, but simpler times.

A Daughter’s Journey
As usual, Anna Jacobs has written another wonderful story and I certainly can recommend this. I must admit that at first I found the narrator’s voice of the male characters a little hard to listen to, but it soon became acceptable. Glad everything ended happily.

Narration faults
If narrating established characters from previous series it would be useful if new narrator listened to get understanding of characters, there was characters in this book that were in Ellindale series this narrator ruined the established characters and it was really annoying, almost gave up but I had bought the series
