I couldn't wait to catch up with the girls in this delightful saga series by Pam Howes to see how they were all faring in this new post-war Britain. Time has moved on and the Bryant Sisters have become mothers and their extended families just seem to keep growing. It is now the 1950s but some scars still remain as the country rebuilds after the battering it took during the six years of war. There is still some rationing but on the whole the people of Britain have come back stronger...and it's no different to those on the other side of the Mersey.

As we return to Wavertree, the three friends - Bella, Edie and Fran - once a great singing trio for ENSA during the war as the Bryant Sisters, have little time for singing these days as each of them raise families of their own. All have settled into motherhood as has Bella's sister Molly who married Earl, the father of Bella's son Levi, who now has a little son of their own, Harry. In the previous book, Earl with his sister Ruby and his daughter Dianna emigrated from America to settle in England so he could enjoy Levi's childhood, though Bella's husband Bobby has adopted Levi as his own. Edie gave birth to a boy whilst Fran escaped her abusive husband Frankie and moved away to escape the stigma and whispers.

Now it is February 1952and the country is in shock at the death of King George VI. Many shed tears over the loss of the man who was never meant to be King and having lead them through the war. Now Princess Elizabeth, who was at their hunting lodge in Kenya with her husband Prince Philip, has become Queen at the age of 25 and a mother herself.

As the women of Victory Street and the home on Prince Alfred Road - where Bella, Bobby and their extended family live - mourn the loss of their King, each one of them are about to embark on new journeys of their own. Everyone is faced with new challenges that have the power to bring them together or tear them apart, as their families are about to be extended yet again.

In the previous book, Earl suffered a brutal racist attack but this time it is his daughter Dianna who discovers that racists don't always use their fists as she comes up against prejudice in her new workplace where she and her best friend Sally are training to become nurses. Her father, however, had set his hopes on Dianna following in his footsteps in a singing career with her beautiful voice but her heart is set on nursing...just like her aunt Ruby. As the years pass we see Dianna blossom as she starts taking charge of her own life making big decisions involving her future. All the while, life changes for everyone on Victory Street as people and attitudes change also. There are life-changing health issues for a couple of characters but they each face these challenges in their stride...after all, they'd been through a war and countless air raids and yet they still stand tall.

While the focus in the past three books has been on Bryant Sisters themselves, in this one Bella, Edie and Fran take a little more of a backseat to the blossoming Dianna and the changes happening within and around their families. There are marriages, births and deaths as well as a big move for several of our favourites.

THE DAUGHTERS OF VICTORY STREET is the fourth in the Bryant Sisters series and, while it cane be read as a standalone, readers will appreciate the story far better having read the rest of the series first, as so much has lead to where they all are now and you really don't want to miss out on the journey.

Although it is a quick read, THE DAUGHTERS OF VICTORY STREET packs a lot into its 240 pages covering the early years of the 50s and everything within as we watch the families grow and adapt to the changing years. There is joy and laughter, sadness and tears in this fabulous addition to this heartwarming saga and I can't wait to see where Book 5 takes the girls.

I can recommend this book in conjunction with the rest of the series for fans of historical fiction sagas such as Nancy Revell, Rosie Clarke, Nadine Dorries and Dilly Court.

I would like to thank #PamHowes, #NetGalley and #Bookouture for an ARC of #TheDaughtersOfVictoryStreet in exchange for an honest review.

This is book four in the Bryant Sisters series and each one has been a pleasure to read. We are now in the early 1950’s and the families of the Bryant Sisters are growing. This is an emotional read covering the ups and downs of the girls and their families but also the Nation’s as they learnt of the death of the beloved King George VI and the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. We find out how Earl’s family are settling in to life in Liverpool as Dianna leaves school and has to decide on her career will she sing like Earl hopes or has she got other ideas. I don’t want to give away too much but I can highly recommend this book you won’t be disappointed. Another great addition to Pam’s books.

Another fantastic book from Pam Howes and well worth 5 stars. It’s best to read the series in order that way you’ll understand the relationships between everyone as it can be tricky to work out who is related to who. Great family Saga book based in Liverpool. Thanks Pam Howes your publisher and NetGalley.

Times have now moved on, and even though we are now into the nineteen fifties, there is still a degree of rationing in place. The three friends, who form the Bryant Sisters singing trio, are now settled into motherhood. In addition, Bella’s extended family come into focus as the spotlight turns onto the ugly subject of racism. In the last book, Earl was subjected to an horrific beating, but his daughter Dianna discovers that racists don’t just use fists to beat, they also use words and actions.
Pam Howes manages to convey the unacceptable behaviours of post-war Britain whilst still creating an upbeat story. The racism certainly isn’t trivialised, it is simply treated with the contempt that it deserves. The characters which Pam has created are all thoroughly developed, and I could almost hear their voices as I read this wonderful book.
I think I will always see Bella as my favourite character, I feel that she has dealt with more than her fair share of sorrow, but she remains positive and holds onto her sunny disposition. She has even more to handle as they discover that their precious daughter’s naughty behaviour may be a symptom of a deeper problem.

Singing and performing remain at the forefront of this latest instalment, as the lives of the connected families adjust to their new circumstances. There are new arrivals, returning characters, house moves and a poignant illness which leads to the passing of a much-loved character, all within the backdrop of their successful music agency.
As the story unfolds and the families continue to adapt to their ever-changing circumstances, I felt hopeful that there will be future visits to Victory Street. I thoroughly recommend this book and the rest of this delightful series.

The Daughters of Victory Street (The Bryant Sisters Book 4)
Book 4 in what I can only say has been the best Saga series i've ever read. I can not praise this series of books highly enough.
The Daughters of Victory Street follows the lives of the Bryant sisters and their families. I would highly recommend that this series is read in order as i feel you will get the best experience with the whole back history of the characters.
Bella, Fran and Edie are back singing together as the one and only - Bryant Sisters. Doing what they do best, singing together.

Another amaizing beautifully written story.

This is Book 4 in The Bryant sisters series. Again like all the others in this series I absolutely loved this book. Looking back I can’t believe that I read my first Pam Howes book back in 2016 and from then on I was completely hooked on her stories. This author is one I never need to read the blurb I just know I am going to love whatever she writes. In the Daughters of Victory Street we are back with the lovely trio of Bella, Fran and Edie, along with their families and friends, It is 1952: and the United Kingdom is undergoing big changes with the death of the King and his daughter Princess Elizabeth taking to the throne. People are getting back on their feet after the war . Like all other books by this author I can honestly imagine myself being there during that time so well is everything described in the book. There is both sadness and happiness in this book but it also shows how friendships can be so strong and survive what ever life can put in front of you. I can’t wait to read more from this amazingly talented author.

I have loved every book in this series, and this one is no exception. I was so excited to find out that there was a fourth one in the series. It was so great to get to know new characters as well as catching up with old ones. There were a few tears at one stage, like there normally is. It was interesting to see how people were adapting to life after the war, the death of The King and the introduction of Rock and Roll. I'd love if there was another book in the series but if there's not, its been a pleasure getting to know Edie, Fran and Bella over the last couple of years and Pam Howes has a fan for life with me.

This is book #4 in the Bryant Sisters series. Whilst it is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone book although I would recommend reading the books in order. We are back in Liverpool, it’s 1952, the war is over and the country is finally starting to get back on its feet. After turbulent times, Bella, Fran and Edie are back singing together as the Bryant Sisters and it’s lovely to see them back together. It’s also lovely to see the younger characters get involved with the singing troop. It’s interesting as the years move on to see the different types of music coming into the story, moving on from the wartime songs to the soul, blues and rock and roll music coming over from America! I’ve read all of the books in the series, and have come to like all the different characters that we get introduced to. There are plenty of new characters to enjoy in this book and I enjoyed meeting them all and reconnecting with so many of the characters from the previous books.

The storyline flowed well and I settled quickly into the book. The story was a heart-warming read, filled with lots of family dilemmas, close friendships and happy and sad times. I liked the different era and although the wartime worries were behind them, they were still dealing with the repercussions from that time and finding new worries replacing them! The book ends leaving the story to be picked up in the next book of the series, and I shall look forward to reading it! Would definitely recommend!

It’s 1952 and we are back in Wavertree in Liverpool. Bella life is good. All three sisters are back singing and recording again and her life with Bobby and son Levi is good. There is also bonus that his half sister Dianna is now living in Liverpool with their father Earl. The story continues as Dianna grows up becoming a singer herself in a group when her two cousins come over from America.
But her heart is set becoming a nurse and meeting new people. She meets Stephen who is musician and their love blossoms. But not everything is plain sailing for her as the colour of her skin comes into question in her life.
Thanks, Bookoutre, for a copy of The Daughters of Victory Street by Pam Howes is the fourth book in The Bryant sister’s series and another endearing historical novel from the author. I have read most of the authors books and she never disappoints.
I love reading this heart -warming family orientated tale of life in the 50’s. Hearing about the friendships and relationships and the fashion and the music and the determination of a young person to prove everyone wrong and get the best out of life. This is another fabulous tale, and I can’t wait to hear what is next in store.
5 stars from me.

Wow, unputdownable. I picked this book up sure that I was just going to fall into it, visiting old friends and family. I wasn’t disappointed.
We catch up with Bella, Fran and Eddie and their families. We get introduced to some of Molly’s in-laws from America along with some of their lifestyle. Some great music mentioned. Old friends Mary, Basil and Fenella are still there in the background.
Well worth 5stars.

I was about 20% through the book when it seemed like bits of the story were missing. What I hadn't realised was that I'd missed the 3rd book in the series. However this didn't distract from my enjoyment of the book, which was a good, easy read. However I was slightly disappointed by the ending as it just finished suddenly, more like the end of a chapter rather than the end of the book. Still, I guess that leaves it open for another book, which I shall look forward to

With grateful thanks to netgalley and Pam Howes for an early copy in return for an honest opinion.
This being the 4th book it was such a treat to have a catch up, pam never disapoints. I can highly recommend this series fantastic characters and premise such a delight to read

Another excellent book about the Bryant family. I enjoyed reading about the new generations and was not disappointed . There was plenty of excitement and again a good story . Looking forward to reading the next book.

A true writer that I love, this is such a heart warming story, that will touch your emotions in the nicest ways, I savoured every moment.
The forth book in the series and it's 1952 in Wavertree Liverpool, and the characters of Victory Street families are growing, great sorrow is all around as the sad loss of the King the country is going to get a very young Queen. Bella, Fran, and Edie the singing trio, The Bryant Sisters since the war ended have changes in their lives and when Basil is thinking of setting them all up again Bella and Edie are all for it they just need to talk Fran around to moving back from Southport so they can once again reform. It's lovely to read how the families are growing.
As we travel through to 1955 the music world is about to change, Rock and Roll is about to hit America and then England as the African American heritage travels across the Atlantic, Basil has formed Dianna and twins Tammy and Ebony the Franklin girls that later become the very American Dianna and the Crystalettes, so let's see how they succeed in the future.
I could not put this book down and once again the author has shined through with her work to bring another brilliant read to her readers, that is filled with Joy, Laugher, and Heartache I do hope and await Book five as we find more history for the people of Victory Street.

Pam Howes writes beautiful English sagas part 4 in this series drew me right in.I enjoyed reading about the characters their lives their families their home.Highly recommend the author the series.#netgalley #bookoutture

This was such a wonderful read. Heartbreaking at times but heartwarming at the same time. I was drawn in to the story and and was captivated right to the end. The characters were so realistic and it was lovely following their stories,

As a lover of Pam Howes books i could not wait to catch up with the girls and their families to see how they were getting on.To say this book is emotional is an understatement but it flows so beautifully detailing the good and the bad of the day.Earls daughter Dianna is settling down to her new life in England and is determined to follow her dream and become a nurse and not the life her father wants.As with each book in the series we have have good times and bad and i will say readers will need tissues as this an emotional story both good and bad.I could say more but i won't spoil the book for others but Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for the chance to review this wonderful book.and now i wait for Pams next book.5*

In the face of hardship, Bella Harrison is determined to see the bright side. She is back recording songs with her singing trio The Bryant Sisters, and against all odds, Bella and her husband Bobby are finding ways to muddle through life as newlyweds whilst raising little Levi; Bella’s child with black American pilot Earl Franklin Junior.
This is a rapid-paced, compelling story with masterful execution. The constant action means there is never a dull moment

Yet another masterpiece by Pam. Thank you for this series it's amazing and I love it.
Would recommend to anyone who wants a story about love and family to read

The Daughters of Victory Street by Pam Howes is an excellent post- WWII era historical fiction saga that is the fourth book in the wonderful: The Bryant Sisters series. I just adore this series!

I have now read all four books in this series and it seems like it just keeps getting better and better. I have also enjoyed several other books by Ms. Howes in the past, so I knew I had to read this one.

While it is not a necessity to read the previous books, the reader really should to fully understand the character cast, history, and development of the ongoing plots.

This book takes place in Liverpool after the war in the very early 1950s. The country is still healing in more ways than one from the war and we get to again visit the families and friends that live in the little, but vibrant, community along Victory Street again. I just love being able to catch up with beloved characters and find out what is next for each of them.

I really enjoyed getting to meet Dianna and see her blossom and the lovely relationship she experiences with Stewart. She is a great addition to this series.

It was also great to see what is next for the singing trio of Bella, Edie, and Fran and their respective personal lives as well. I love that they are still together from their start in ENSA and the ups and downs of life that took place afterwards.

This is such a great series. It has drama, history, romance, obstacles, friends, family, and the characters show courage and perseverance through difficult times knowing, and hoping, that things will continue to improve and work out for the best.

I hope this series continues.

5/5 stars
