The series is called 'Shadows Over England'. It is (so far) a three book series that This follows a family of orphans that have bound themselves together and have grown to love and care for one another and have become an endearing family.
White transports you seamlessly to 1915 London during the dark days of World War I as Germany wages a war for domination. This third book 'An Hour Unspent' focus' on Barclay Pierce, a reformed master thief and head of the family now employed for his skills by the British Admiralty in protecting the country as only a former thief can. Follow the family as they move from the rough streets of Poplar to the fine neighborhood of Hammersmith as he joins with a clockmaker to try to change the tide of the war by helping this unlikely craftsman with his invention that could help them win the war. Can they keep the clockmaker and his beautiful Suffragette daughter safe from the mysterious thief that attacked her and has tried to break into their home. Tensions rise... love starts to bloom, dangerous plots are carried out... a kidnapping... and self-sacrifice.
This is a great book. I love as a believer, the way that he struggles to fight old patterns of sin and fights to become a better man. One that will get him the approval of not only man but of the God that he loves.
