Stormy Waters at
Harbour House
Wivenhoe February 1940
As the war clouds gather
over Europe, the Roby family are thankful to have started their new life in
Wivenhoe safe from German bombs…for the moment at least. And with the safe
arrival of baby Grace, family life at Harbour House seems to be settling down.
But Emily Roby finds
life stifling. She’s not keen on her new baby sister, doesn’t like her new
school and feels as though sometimes her parents still treat her as a baby, but
also a grown up when it suits them! Emily’s only friend is Nancy, the new girl
working at Harbour House.
Nancy loves working at
Harbour House, but war has brought many changes and she begins to wonder if
there’s another life for her away from Wivenhoe. Her young man, Dan Brooks, is
keen for them to get married and start a family, but at only eighteen, Nancy
feels too young to settle down.
As a bargeman working on
the river, Dan is often away for days and weeks on end, but Nancy knows he will
always come home to her. But with the Germans U-boats turning their eyes to
Britain’s waters, Dan’s job suddenly become more dangerous than ever before.
Suddenly there are troubled waters ahead for everyone at Harbour
House and the future looks unsettling for everyone.

Fenella J. Miller’s Stormy Waters at Harbour House is
an engaging, heartfelt tale that keeps you hooked from start to finish. This is
the second book of this series and it follows the lives of the residents of
Harbour House, weaving together love, secrets, and the trials of living through
WWII.
I am a huge fan of Miller’s books, the characters are well-written
and relatable, with emotional journeys. I really felt we got to know more about
the characters this time compared to the first book, it had a different feel to
it and I hope that we learn more with the next.
The relationships in the novel are particularly
well-explored—both romantic and platonic—adding depth to the story and making
the reader care deeply about the characters’ fates. Nancy is a girl with
gumption and I really liked her character, she showed determination,
consideration for others and I was keen to see all work out well for her.
Overall, Stormy Waters at Harbour House is an
extremely enjoyable and satisfying read. It’s perfect for those who love this
genre – war time/ family saga; a book with a mixture of romance, personal
growth, and family bonds not always being blood relatives. A great addition to
Miller’s collection of heartwarming novels.
