Summary

Nothing will stop the the Tobacco Girls, not even war....

Bristol 1940.

The Tobacco Girls cling together as they realise that the clouds of war are turning dark, the world is becoming more dangerous and their lives more unpredictable.

Bridget Milligan’s big, happy family fragments when her siblings are evacuated to North Devon, then a letter from America further fills her with dismay.

Maisie Miles safe haven from both Eddie Bridgeman and her father is jeopardised, and she is forced to move on, but where to this time?

Phyllis Mason is struck down by tragedy, and her life spirals downwards into despair until a new horizons beckons, but also perhaps great danger....

Regardless of the rationing, shortages and an ever-worsening situation, the Tobacco Girls all pull together and hope for better days to come.

Looking forward to next episode

My father was born in Bristol in 1936, his mother was called Phylis. The tobacco girls brings this period to life and a sense of nostalgia and understanding of life at that time.

Gripping

Excellent follow on from the first book. Great characters who I couldn’t wait to hear more about and find out which path each would take.
