Omg this is one of the best books I have read. It is my type of story bit of family saga, wartime and nursing. Brilliant storyline. Can t wait to read more by this author
I am very happy to say that i have loved reading this book about Gaye,Clare and Diana and their lives during the war.Clare and Gaye are trainee nurses at St Timothy's in Stockport.One evening they are watching a film when the air raid siren went off while leaving the movie theatre an elderly lady takes a tumble as young boys run past them,Clare and Gaye go the lady's aid and make sure she is ok before going outside.A young girl had sent the red cross across to help them.After a night in the shelter the three girls become great friends and enjoyed getting to know each other and to becoming involved with the Evacuees from Guernsey.If i could i would give this book more than 5* EXCELLENT and well done to Lilly Robbins and i look forward to her next book.
