The fourth instalment of The Marsden Family saga brings the story up to 1939.
Intertwined with real historical events, we experience the social climate in the country as it moves closer to war through the eyes of the various family members. Using extensive research, award-winning author, Alan Reynolds, brings the past to life at a pivotal time in English history in a compelling novel. We experience the increasing threat from Hitler, and the British Government’s attempt at appeasement; the IRA bombing campaign, and the efforts of the British Secret Service to thwart their aims, among other key events which shaped the world at that time.
However, not everyone will see the outbreak of hostilities.
‘A strongly written, historical drama offering readers an insight into English life in the run-up to the Second World War.’

Reviews...
"Uncertain Times is the fourth book in a series about the Marsden family. Like the other three books, this one does not disappoint. The saga begins with the Bakers Story and takes the reader from peacetime into the First World War. The following books focus on the war and the eventual peace once more. Uncertain Times then brings us back to the brink of war. This time the Second World War.
"The whole series gives an insight into how one family is affected by war. How lives were lived and lost. The joy and the sorrow.
"Whilst this book, and the three which precede it, are works of fiction, l would encourage anyone studying the two wars to read the series. The information included is amazing and informative. Alan Reynolds research is to be applauded."
