With thanks to netgalley and Maisie Thomas for an early copy in return for an honest review
Totally blown away with the first book in this new series and new Author.
The railway girls is taking us on a journey of how life changed for so many women when they had to do there bit during the 2nd world war .
I loved how the author has given us so much information in the first book that really sets the scene for the following books I was just pulled in from the very beginning these girls were such a mixed bag all from different lives and circumstances I loved the two sisters who lived with there granny who ruled there lives with an iron rod I think there is much more there than meets the eye I for one am looking forward to reading more about granny. I honestly can't wait for the next installment of this FANTASTIC book. This is a real winner

I had trouble at first getting into this book as i found too much happening at once but i went back to it and i did enjoy reading of the lives of the women who went to work as Railway Girls during the war.An enjoyable book and i can recommend it to readers who love this genre.5*

Manchester February 1940 WW2 , Mabel Bradshaw is aching to leave home Kirkland house and start proper war work. And applies at Hunts Bank Railways, Joan Foster, Alison Lambert, Lizzie Cooper, and mrs Collette Naylor all get interviewed and are told to meet at the monument and all become The railway girl's, tackling a man's job they have never done before. This book is absolutely fascinating to read, as we go through the work with these girl's as well as their private lives. It had me gripped into the story as I read chapter after chapter. This author has a way of bringing into the book to make you there with all the characters. Loved it

Well what can i say. Love family saga books and definitely love books like this. Story of different girls from different backgrounds and how they all come best of friends. The highs and lows of their life's. Absolutely brilliant cant wait for the next book

I really enjoyed the various glimpses into the lives of three of the female protagonists. Loved getting to know Dot although she initially seemed like the one most different to me and my own mindsets. But she is such a lovely and strong character and yet also warm and accommodating. The story is one which is incredibly interesting and highlights the Homefront in a way which I have not yet read anything about.

I’m excited to read the next book in this series and see the characters grow and develop.
