Summary
As war rages, everyone has to do their bit....
Bristol 1941.
As the clouds of war grow bleaker both at home and abroad, the Tobacco Girls are determined to do their bit for king and country. To that end Maisie Miles and Bridget Milligan become voluntary ambulance drivers.
As well as coping with the frequent air raids, Maisie is kept on her toes with three new junior employees, one of whom is particularly testing. Bridget’s heart becomes torn between family loyalty and American tobacco tycoon Lyndon O’Neill III, the man she loves.
Meanwhile Phyllis Harvey has joined the WAAF, opting to serve overseas whilst trying to escape her past. Her letters home are upbeat and her friends are initially envious of descriptions of sunshine and blue sea. The truth she hides is that life on the island of Malta is fraught with extreme food shortages, daily air raids and the fear that tomorrow might never come.
The future appears far less certain as the reality of war bites into the Tobacco Girls’ lives.

Narrated badly
All characters sound like they are over 50 which doesn’t work as most of them are much younger

Performance awful
The great story but the only reason I listened to the end was the knowledge that the next book would be read by the original narrator.
The ‘accents’ of Penelope Freeman were both patronising and embarrassing it’s spoilt the overall experience.

Another great book in this series!
I really enjoyed this, the only thing that let it down for me was I preferred the narration by Anne Dover, the American accents and some of the voices the narrator used for different characters made me cringe. She made some of the characters sound like they had something wrong with them.

Ohhh no the narration was awful
Love these listens usually , I only gave the performance 2 stars because the narration wasn’t great Phyllis sounded so common compared to the earlier books & Lindon omg ! If the voices had been more like the previous narrator it would of been so much better love listening to these 3 girls growing up & their stories , how far have women came because of the opportunities they got in the war.

Tobacco book3
Thoroughly enjoying this series . Accents are a bit funny but still it’s been great to follow the story of 3 Bristol girls during World War 2
Can’t wait to read the next book!

Enjoyable story, terrible narration
Have listened to the first 4 books in this series. Really feel like I know the characters and enjoy hearing them develop and their own storylines.
Unfortunately this is my least favourite in the series. Too much going back over what has happened previously in the other books and this time narrator is terrible. Accents are awful and off putting. Girls sound like old ladies and the American and Australian accents are comedic.
