Description

Thomas Packard is dead and the tensions between his grandchildren mount as to who will get the major shareholding in the store, who will be on the board, who will be chairman. Amelie fights to maintain her position whilst coping with a marriage that is far from perfect and trying to resist a strong attraction to her friend's husband. Then their world is torn apart by the declaration of war, but business must go on despite staffing difficulties. It opens up new opportunities for Amelie, who is quick to seize them, and puts ever more of her energies into her beloved Packards, but it also stiffens her brother Alec's resolve to stay firmly in control. . . . A powerful, compelling sequel to PACKARDS that confirms Patricia Burns' wonderful storytelling talent.

Sir Thomas Packard, founder of the great department store, is dead.

Now his grand-daughter Amelie must ensure that her ruthless brother does not take control of Packards. But what she cannot know is that there is another family member in the running ... When Sir Thomas's illegitimate son is given a claim to the family business, a claim he has every intention of following up, the entire Packard clan is appalled.

While the family manoeuvres for power, the shop assistants keep the store running. Day by day their lives and loves intertwine. And then Britain enters the war with Germany bringing new opportunities for some, heartbreak and suffering for many. For better or worse, everyone's lives are changed.
