Summary

The start of a BRAND NEW historical series from Rachel Brimble

September 1941, Bath – three friends are about to find that some of the biggest battles are to be found on the home front…

As war rages and brave soldiers returning home from the frontline need nurses more than ever, fiercely proud redhead Sylvia Roberts is determined to help in any way she can. In spite of her mother’s belief she isn’t good enough, Sylvia believes that becoming a home front nurse is her calling.

Together with the two friends she makes on her first day in the job – Freda and Veronica – she knows she can help save lives. And, as the devastation of war shows no signs of ceasing, their work becomes ever more vital.

Then Sylvia’s life is thrown into the path of a man who might just be able to capture her heart. Even though he is somebody who everyone – except her best friends – seems prejudiced against. Can love really conquer all, in times of war?

One thing she knows is that – in the dangerous days that will follow – she and her friends will all need to support each other right to the end…

The Home Front Nurses is a gripping, uplifting story of unbreakable bonds of friendship in times of strife and heartbreak, the start of an unmissable new saga series. Perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Rosie Clarke, and Call the Midwife.

Bestselling authors are loving The Home Front Nurses:

‘I enjoyed this heart-warming yet gritty and gripping first book of the series. Sylvia, Freda and Veronica, work hard in their job of nursing the wounded, each of them with their own secret heartache… Compelling reading. Another winner for this lovely author and only the first in a series that will garner a host of readers.’ Lizzie Lane

‘This a new writer for me and I absolutely loved this book. Well-researched, well-written and I couldn’t put it down.’ Fenella J Miller

A fantastic start to what promises to be a brilliant series.’ Rosie Clarke

Heartwarming! I loved following the lives of the three girls, and the storyline pulled me in quickly, holding my attention. It was hard to put down!’ Patricia McBride

Rachel Brimble brings Sylvia, Freda and Veronica to life in her skilled and vivid storytelling. As the friends face the perils of war on the home front, we stand beside them, sharing their hopes, dreams and fears. I can’t wait to read more in this series.’ May Ellis
