Duty Calls at Goodwill House by Fenella J。 Miller is an engaging historical novel。 It is the third book in the Goodwill House series。 I recommend reading this delightful series in order as it will allow you to get to know the characters （and follow them from the beginning）。 I like Fenella J。 Miller’s writing style。 I was drawn into the story and just wanted to keep reading。 It is like visiting with old friends。 I love Joanna and the gang at Goodwill House。 Joanna has come a long way since the be Duty Calls at Goodwill House by Fenella J。 Miller is an engaging historical novel。 It is the third book in the Goodwill House series。 I recommend reading this delightful series in order as it will allow you to get to know the characters （and follow them from the beginning）。 I like Fenella J。 Miller’s writing style。 I was drawn into the story and just wanted to keep reading。 It is like visiting with old friends。 I love Joanna and the gang at Goodwill House。 Joanna has come a long way since the beginning。 She is a woman with a big heart。 It is great seeing Liza and Joe blossom。 Elizabeth still likes some things done a certain way， but she is becoming less formal and more congenial。 We get to catch up with Millie， Ted， Di， and Freddie as well。 I find the characters to be realistic and relatable。 The author captures what the war was like for civilians， WAAF， and RAF。 The members of Goodwill House and the local village live near an airbase。 They can hear the planes coming and going。 Unfortunately， it means the airbase is a target which means frequent air raid warnings。 It is an emotional novel。 We see what it is like to worry about a loved one who is in the air battling the Germans。 You never knew if an RAF pilot would make it back to base。 Measles hits the village affecting adults and children。 Joanna and Elizabeth are worried about paying off the debt to the bank。 The new Lord Harcourt is up to no good and the ladies are worried he will try to take Goodwill House。 I like that we get to see what the day-to-day life was like for the characters。 It must have been difficult trying to cloth and feed a family with rationing。 With the war ongoing， it will be a while before things are tickety boo。 I am eager for the next installment of Goodwill House。 Duty Calls at Goodwill House is a gas with air raids， a measles epidemic， exploding eggs， pilots on a toot， a kite plight， cab happy WAAF， a cozy cottage， bank bothers， and war rationing。 。。。more

I am learning so much from Fenella J。 Miller's Goodwill House Series。 Who knew that learning about WW2 could be so enjoyable？ The author has brought the human side to what is usually learned in textbook with just the facts and only the boring facts。 Duty Calls at Goodwill House is the third book in the series。 I will admit I have become invested with many of the characters， and was pleased to revisit them。 I celebrated their happiness。 I cried over their losses。 I cringed over their struggles。 I I am learning so much from Fenella J。 Miller's Goodwill House Series。 Who knew that learning about WW2 could be so enjoyable？ The author has brought the human side to what is usually learned in textbook with just the facts and only the boring facts。 Duty Calls at Goodwill House is the third book in the series。 I will admit I have become invested with many of the characters， and was pleased to revisit them。 I celebrated their happiness。 I cried over their losses。 I cringed over their struggles。 I relished in the drama as my eyes were opened wider to life in WW2。 This story showed me more of challenges that the villagers had to deal with during the war。 I can't begin to imagine dealing with all of the rationing and then have to struggle with an outbreak of measles。 To make matters worse the war is coming to the area。The bases are at risk。 Planes are crashing。 Villagers are dodging bullets。 Things are getting real and I am understanding more and more what my mom and her family went through。 I can't wait for the next installment。 There is so much going on in the series。 My mind is going crazy with what might be happening on the pages of book four。 。。。more

Duty Calls At Goodwill House by Fenella J Miller is a marvellous historical novel and the third book in the Goodwill House series。 It can be read as a stand-alone but I recommend reading the other books first。The war is continuing in 1940 as we rejoin the residents of Goodwill House。 It was a pure delight to catch up with familiar faces， both civilians and serving RAF members。 The reader follows the action from the village to the base to the skies。Whilst war looms large， every day life continues Duty Calls At Goodwill House by Fenella J Miller is a marvellous historical novel and the third book in the Goodwill House series。 It can be read as a stand-alone but I recommend reading the other books first。The war is continuing in 1940 as we rejoin the residents of Goodwill House。 It was a pure delight to catch up with familiar faces， both civilians and serving RAF members。 The reader follows the action from the village to the base to the skies。Whilst war looms large， every day life continues。 There are adjustments to be made in the running of Goodwill House。 The residents have never been aloof but friendly with those below stairs。 We witness the mellowing of the matriarch as love permeates the residents。 It is a delight to witness the teenage twins transform from rough east enders to beloved family members。Tragedies still happen in everyday life that have nothing to do with the war。 Illness strikes and cruelly cuts down young lives， leaving gaping holes。Life needs to be grabbed by both hands as tomorrow is not guaranteed。All the characters are likable and realistic。 It is delightful to see their interactions and to ‘feel’ the love as one of their own is lost。Fenella J Miller writes with knowledge and depth of feeling as she explores lives and relationships of those in， and also nearby， Goodwill House。 Characters arrive at Goodwill House as strangers but leave as friends。 I look forward to more installments from Goodwill House。I received a free copy via Net Galley for a blog tour with Rachel’s Random Resources。 A favourable review was not required。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more
