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.

Why?
Oh dear why did you change the Narrator? I will still follow the lives of our three girls because I love the story and Lizzie Lane’s writing. She manages to evoke the period and the people. But the narrator is very grating and it’s hard to get past this.

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.

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.

Let down by the narrator
Good story, enjoyed the continuity of the girls, would say there was too much time spent going over what happened in books 1&2. Felt like we could have heard more about Phillis though.
BUT the narrator was horrendous, she made the women sound old and dumb although they are all young! Shame as it lets down the whole book.

Narration ruined it for me ,
Agree with other reviewer, narrater , made all the young girls sound like my gran , i think all books in a series should allways be same person telling them , as it just spoils it , and they arent cheap
