- Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI enjoyed all three of these heart warming books filled with love; couples in love, familial love and even the love of good friends who are more like family. There was plenty of heartbreak too but handled with courage, strength and lots of love. I couldn't put these books down, ordering the next as soon as I finished the last. When I reached the end of the third and realized there wasn't a next book, I found myself saying out loud, "Oh no!". A truly wonderful series and a must read for your book wish list. Doesn't everybody have one of those?
- Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThe Granville Legacy, the third in the trilogy by Patricia M/ Osborne, is told in two voices. Young George is now Lord Granville who has the looks and sensitivity of his Da, yet has the austere practicality of his grandfather, the former Lord Grandville. He goes back to his father’s coal mining roots to find his bride. He seeks to protect the women in his family, namely his mother Grace and sister, Alice who has married his former roommate who bullied him.
Grace also shares her thoughts as she too tries to shield her first-born daughter from an abusive husband while losing another husband and being left as a new single mom to two. Through many twists and turns, she cleaves to her remarkable son, the new Lord Granville, her close friends and family to make it through to the next chapters of her journey.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseToo many people, too many names, too much drinking of tea, coffee whatever. Not very interesting as was the second book. The massive amount of characters could have been woven in better. A massive soap opera !
- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis trilogy is great. This is a series that could keep going on. The characters are so interesting. I highly recommend this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2021Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI guess the best did come last, but one must read the first two before arriving at the end of book three. I was touched emotionally throughout this novel and in such a manner as one would expect with the events of each decade in ways similar to my own, such as child loss. Do NOT read the last chapter! Instead, let your heart be filled with a yearning for something to be voiced and finally see and read it in print like I did. Five stars.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2021Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI just could not put the book down, so now at 2:00 AM I am writing a review. I am satisfied by the resolution of loose ends and hope you will be satisfied also. Now I am off to sleep and then select my next read tomorrow, or rather later on today. I hope you enjoy the trilogy as much as I did. Happy Reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully written, absorbing family saga.
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI couldn’t wait to feast my eyes on the third book, The Granville Legacy, in this amazing ‘House Of Grace’ trilogy. At last, a few weeks holiday allowed me to do just that, and it didn’t disappoint. Having read the Coal Miner’s Son, I was excited to get started and return to the family now set in the 1980’s. The author Patricia M Osborne enticingly sets the pace from the start and I’m back with George with only more devastating news. This absorbing Family Saga takes you on many paths filled with a mix of emotions including romance, heartbreak, and family conflict. Written in a most wonderful way with its believable, well fleshed out characters and detailed descriptive scenes I was as equally captivated as with previous books. I loved all the characters, each and every one, but George Gilmore certainly stands out for me when it comes to his families’ wellbeing. It’s a great tale and I would recommend reading all three books to be sure to engage thoroughly and not miss one word.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and Masterful Writing
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThe final book in Patricia Osborne’s trilogy continues the family saga of Grace (now “Ardant”) and opens just before Christmas 1980, with her son George (the central character in book two, “The Coalminer’s Son”) the grown man, supervising his half-sisters decorating the tree at Granville Hall. Tinkerbell, who sits on the top, reminds the reader of his childhood and, of course, Grace, as a young mum, married to her beloved Jack Gilmore, when the family lived in the mining town of Wintermore. In book three, George is in his 30s and, to coin a phrase, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge. As family events unfold, the storytelling of changing fortunes is comprehensive and masterful. I particularly enjoyed how the lives of Grace, George and his sister, Alice, panned out, not forgetting Grace’s sister, Elizabeth, George’s charge in his formative years. Patricia cleverly builds not only on the main characters, but on Grace’s “extended family”, each with his and her own story, and the consistency in characterisation is impressive. As one life event follows another, with shades of their effects in between, I felt like one of the family sharing the highs and lows. Closing the book for the last time, my only regret was this dramatic and heart-warming saga had to end.

4.0 out of 5 stars A lovely conclusion to the family saga trilogy.
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI very much enjoyed the family saga trilogy. It follows the story of Grace Granville, born into a wealthy family who has ambitions beyond marrying a rich man. She yearns to be a designer but her father has other ideas. She marries below her but Jack, although a coal miner, is the love of her life. Across the three books we chart Grace's progress, her high and lows, her gains and losses, and likewise those of her eldest son, George, in particular, on whom we focus in the second book in the trilogy. The problems set up there are resolved in the third and final book, where we see ends neatly tied up for all members of the family. Trying hard here not to give any spoilers! What I will say is that if you like sagas, then this one is worth a go, stretching across about thirty years, from the late fifties/early sixties to the eighties. I felt very connected to the characters, especially in the first two books, which were my favourites. And, yes, there were moments when I was reaching for some tissues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bravo!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseFor me, this was a wonderful end to the three novels. I love that the characters are so familiar and I enjoyed the whole story. The author has such a flair for storytelling and such detail that brings the narrative to life in an almost addictive way. You certainly won’t want to put the book down once you start reading it! The book could be read as a standalone, but I would urge all readers discovering this author to read the other two first. It really will enhance the enjoyment of this particular book. I hear there may be similar to come from Ms Osborne – I do hope so as I love this genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice family Saga
Format: KindleVerified PurchasePatricia has written three very good book in House of Grace, The Coal Miners Son and now The Granville Legacy. They have all followed on nicely.
This is a family saga telling mainly the life stories of Grace and George. In the Granville Legacy George & his sister are all grown up, and George finally goes back to the village where he lived his young life until everything changed for him.
These three books are a must to read, although they can be read as a stand alone book
Read and enjoy books you just won’t want to put done. Well done Patricia for making your books so readable.
Can’t wait for what comes next.
