Summary

'Calling all women!'

It’s 1941, and as the Second World War rages on, girls from all over the country are signing up to the Women’s Land Army. Renowned for their camaraderie and spirit, it is these brave women who step in to take on the gruelling farm work from the men conscripted into the armed forces.

When Yorkshire mill girl Una joins the cause, she wonders how she’ll adapt to country life. Luckily she’s quickly befriended by more experienced Land Girls Brenda and Grace. But as Christmas draws ever near, the girls’ resolve is tested as scandals and secrets are revealed, lovers risk being torn apart and even patriotic loyalties are called into question....

With only a week to go until the festivities, can the strain of wartime still allow for the magic of Christmas?

A wonderful, festive tale of friendship, romance and triumph over adversity that fans of Daisy Styles, Donna Douglas and Call the Midwife will adore.

it was alright ....

story was ok, bit predictable but it was an easy listen. Some of the narrators accent attempts need some work I've never heard a Brummy or Scouse accent like it! Overall ok, but I don't think it will be a repeat listen for me.

Land girls at Christmas

Did not enjoy book mainly because of the narrator, her regional accents were terrible and distracted from the story
