I really struggled to get into Emmerdale at War. Being a fan of Emmerdale I thought I’d love the book but I struggled and after a few chapters I gave up, it was not for me.

I've never read any of these books But I do love a bit of Emmerdale! and who doesn't?! So when this came available to read I had to request Emmerdale at War by Pamela Bell. This is the third book in the Emmerdale series and I just loved it. It is set during the Second World War and it was a gem of a read. It transports you back to the Yorkshire Dales and we follow the loved Dingles, Anne Pearson, Sugdens and many more famous loved families of the Emmerdale series.

Highly recommend this book. I haven't read the other two books but will be purchasing them.

Big Thank you Many thanks to Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

I loved this story, it's poignant and heartwarming.
It's an engrossing and entertaining read, I liked the well researched historical background, the fleshed out cast of characters and the description.
I'd be happy to read other books in this series.
Recommended!

If you’re a fan of Emmerdale reading this will feel familiar and nostalgic. Set during World War Two this follows the story of Emmerdale farm and the residents of nearby Beckindale. As you’d expect being set during the war it deals with rationing, blackouts, evacuees, being sent to war and captured prisoners of war. It’s a beautiful but heartbreaking snapshot of village life.
