Summary

An uplifting and dramatic saga series about the women who held the country together in its darkest hour - the heroines of the Blitz. Perfect for fans of Jenny Holmes, Nancy Revell and Margaret Dickinson.

A heartwarming and gripping new saga series from the author of The Bobby Girls

Their country needs them. They need each other.

August, 1940. The war is raging in Europe, but on the home front conflict still seems far away.

Dot, living with her mother-in-law and dreading the day that her thuggish husband comes home on leave, is fighting her own battle to contribute to the war effort. Peggy has found confidence as an Air Raid Precaution Warden, despite the jeers of the men she works with - but beneath her pluck she fears for her close-knit family, scattered by the war. And glamorous Vivian, the former debutante, is running away from her own heart and into danger as a volunteer ambulance driver.

Then the bombs begin to fall over London, and all their lives are turned upside down. Thrown together into an unlikely friendship, can the Blitz Girls protect their country - and each other - in the darkest hour?

Enjoyable

Good story line, loved the characters happiness and sadness of war captured. Only disappointment no book 2. Narrating was very good.

Don’t bother with this one

No real story line, just repartition, bombs hitting buildings, girls rescuing the injured, throw in the abusive relationship and weird mother in law and that’s it. Narration poor.
