I loved this book! It was a real story of women power and overcoming challenging circumstances. I'm no fan of football, but the story about the women's football team made me feel, weirdly, proud of those women, who were part of the team in the book. This book had several gasp out loud moments, and many tears along the way! I thought it was charming but also very honest! I can't wait to read more from Posy!

A beautifully written novel set in the middle of WW1 in Clydebank. I enjoyed the characters stories intertwining with one another as well as demonstrating determination during a really scary time! Plus the football subplot was great, big fan of promoting women in sport. Thanks to Net Galley for the advanced copy

Historical drama set in Clydeside during the War. A fascinating bunch of women/sisters each with their own problems. A look at women's football and the dangers of missile making. A good read.

Returning to Clydebank with families and friendship keeping everyone going during the war, but what to do when this protection starts to crumble. The Wentworth factory is now making things for the war effort, stretchers, shells which involves the use of TNT, could this have an effect on those working closely with it?
It was lovely to join familiar names Ellen, Sadie & Rachel, Ida and Bridget (or as Annie calls them Tida & Biscuit).

Had to laugh at the use of local words, names. (crabbit , Piece & jam, when I first moved to north Scotland no one knew what I meant when I said that.. Enjoyed the football storyline.

Look forward to next book by this author.

Victory for the sewing factory girls, the 2nd book in the series, and a great follow up. The book catches up with Ellen, Sadie and Bridget 5 years after the strike at wentworth. Now the factory is making municians for the war..There’s still a lot of tension from the strike, and a lot of hard feelings about the factory, with arguments between them. The women make a football team, raising money to help people and that brings everyone together, a great read with great characters, already waiting for a 3rd book in this series.

If I could give more than five stars I would, what a fab read loved the characters and the setting, the storyline was great I honestly could not put this book down I was gripped and I hope we have more to come from these ladies

Firstly thank you Netgalley for this Arc

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

Can’t wait to read more
