About this book
Peggy Raymond's Way (or Blossom Time at Friendly Terrace) by Harriet Lummis Smith invites listeners back to Friendly Terrace with warm humor and the gentle bustle of post–Great War life. In this fifth and apparently final volume of the Peggy Raymond series, Smith follows her spirited ensemble as they trade wartime anxieties for domestic schemes, college caps, and romantic possibilities.
The novel—equal parts fiction and humor—tracks Peggy and Grahame as wedding preparations unfold while friends Ruth, Amy, and Priscilla explore their own futures. Smith captures the quieter social shifts of the early 20th century: young women finishing education, navigating relationships, and reshaping community ties after the upheaval of the Great War. The tone is lighthearted and affectionate, full of mischievous episodes, cozy domestic scenes, and the author’s knack for introducing fresh characters without losing the continuity readers love.
Perfect for fans of vintage women’s fiction, character-driven ensemble stories, and readers who appreciate witty, genteel humor with historical flavor. Listen to savor period charm, gentle social observation, and the satisfying camaraderie of a beloved series brought to a cheerful close.
