The annual migration from London to the hop fields of Kent is a much-anticipated escape from the dust and grime of the East End. However, this year, Rose Fairleigh is concerned that their departure will disrupt the slow-blossoming romance between her daughter, Jess, and postman Jack Barnes. Rose worries that Jess's feelings for Jack will be overshadowed by the responsibilities of her family and the impending war.
Jack promises to visit and assures Rose that he will keep an eye on her three sons, who are staying behind. Before he knows it, one of the boys is in trouble, and it is up to Jack to bring him home. Meanwhile, in Kent, Jess's life grows increasingly confusing as the son of suffragette Lady Worlington turns his attentions to her. Jess is torn between her love for Jack and her loyalty to her family and the cause of women's suffrage.
As the war draws closer, tensions between the families escalate, and Jess finds herself caught in the middle. She must choose between her love for Jack and her commitment to her family and the cause of women's suffrage. The novel is a gripping saga of love and loss on the eve of the Great War, and it explores the complex relationships between families, friends, and lovers in a time of great change and uncertainty.
The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the writing is evocative and powerful. The novel is perfect for fans of Sheila Newberry and Downton Abbey, as it combines the drama and romance of those series with the historical context of the Great War. Overall, "The Annual Migration" is a must-read for anyone who loves historical fiction and family drama.
