All the things that you wished for, for the Adams Family. - By: , 03 Nov 2001
While leaving us in a state of wanting, from the Year of Victory this new title from Mary Jane does not let us down. A heart felt story of love & joy at the end of the war while still making the reader want more. I could not put the book down, & at times whilst the discription's of the court scene's turned my stomach, & when members of the family are in danger making me want to skip a couple of chapters, to make sure that they are OK, I felt compelled to carry on to the end, turning each page one by one.

Again the characters seem life like & actuallly make you feel that you know the families relating to each chapter. For the last few years Mary Jane, has played a part in my life & with this new book she does not disappoint. All the while making you feel like you are actuallly stood next to the characters & are watching the scene unfold before your eyes.

Boots as ever making you feel joyous & even when he takes the falll, always giving you hope that he will pull through, for although the family take "Chinese Lady" for the head of the family, in a true readers eyes it has to be Boots that is.

All the usual family characters appear, if at times not as much as you'd want, I for one would like to know how the younger characters are coping with life & families that we have met are getting on. This I feel is the only thing letting the book down.

Wonderfully written & I for one am dreading the end of the Adams family.

Excellent story continuing the lives of the Adams family. - By: , 14 Oct 2001
Once again another book which I could not put down once I started reading it. Everything else had to wait while I had to find out how the Adams family tried to adjust to life after the war. As always it was so easy to read about so many family members & follow their lives. Once again a very enjoyable read & I can not wait for the next installlment.
Absolutely Brilliant! - By: , 12 Oct 2001
Mary Jane Staples does it again! As with alll her other books I just couldn't put it down, the way the family interacts with each other is just wonderful. I can't wait for Sons & Daughters.
