Summary
A heart-wrenching family saga about women in World War 2, the strength of friendship, and hope.
1940, Liverpool: Alice Turner and her best friend, Millie Markham, work for the war effort at Rootes munitions factory, making shell caps and Halifax bombers. Alice’s sweetheart, Terry, is home from the front for a brief period of leave. But the honeymoon is soon over. Terry must go back to the dangers of Nazi-occupied France, and the ever-present air raid sirens quickly bring Alice back down to earth.
When a terrible explosion at the factory leads to a tragic death, Millie receives devastating news, and a loved one is announced missing in action, the heartbreak of war is suddenly all too real. Alice must believe Terry will make it home to keep up her strength. Her mother and Millie need all her support, and morale at the factory is at an all-time low. Can Alice and Millie help one another make it through these dark times, even as the war stretches on with no sign of an ending?

What a lovely audiobook - really enjoyable and engaging.
Something different to my usual listens. Found this story pleasant and such an easy listen. The story was engaging and I’ve listened to it in less than 24 hours. I was so happy with it,I’ve just purchased books two and three following on from this title. The narration was great and I award this book 5 stars plus.

Amazing start to finish!
What an absolutely amazing book. Start to finish I was completely astonished. All of the Scouse mannerisms were spot on and reminded me a lot of my Grandmother. It was amazing to hear this perspective of the place I live and work. Cannot recommend enough.
