Another fantastic title in the series. Being Yorkshire born and bred and having links with Sheffield this set of books was always going to appeal to me. Reading about how Sheffield was heavily bombed and the casualties suffered really brings it home to you that the war was on your doorstep. There is lots of sadness in the title and I admit to shedding a tear! The book leaves many questions unanswered and I already crave the next title being released!

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers and of course the author for allowing me to read this Arc copy.

Highly recommend the series.

Firstly thank you Netgalley for this Arc

What a brilliant fifth book in this series love family saga based in the war this is definitely one for you

Can’t wait to read more

I could not read this book fast enough! The Steel Girl series has honestly been stellar since the start and I eagerly await every new instalment. They make for such good reading and I’ve grown so attached to the characters!

We rejoin Hattie, Betty, Daisy and Nancy and this time, they have the Blitz to contend with. That and navigating relationships, alcoholic husbands and fathers, the fall out from the war and working to supply to steel demands - they have an awful lot to overcome. But watching them support each other every step of the way was so heartwarming and I’ve grown to love these group of strong women! Man, I’m rooting so hard for Hattie and Diane I’m on the verge of pulling a muscle!!

It’s wonderfully fast paced and easy to get into. I was sucked into the ‘just one more chapter’ trap and I was half way through the book before I even knew it. And then I’d finished the book before I knew it!

Always left wanting more, I can’t wait to rejoin these girls further on in their stories.
