![]() ![]() After several years, most of the patients had returned to their homes and families, but there were six who remained, needing a longer convalescence, and it’s these six whose stories were told in the previous books. The group met when one of their number, George Crabbe, the Duke of Stanbrook, decided to turn his Cornwall home of Penderris into a hospital for wounded combatants who needed more intense and extended care than could be found elsewhere. Ms Balogh has created a cast of memorable and engaging characters in the Survivors and their partners, and has not sugar-coated their various ordeals or glossed over the difficulties they have experienced during their recoveries. I’ve enjoyed all the books and think it’s been one of the strongest and most consistent series around in the historical sub-genre in the last few years. Only Beloved is the seventh and final book in Mary Balogh’s Survivor’s Club series about a group of people – six men and one woman – who sustained injuries and trauma, both physical and mental, as a result of the Napoleonic Wars. ![]()
