A book not only of hope but love too. We visit the Maguire family where big May rules the roost and knows her offspring better than they realise. Her daughter Florence has always felt a bit of an outcast, someone to have a laugh at.
Florence has a good job working for the council in the typing pool where she overlooks the work of the typists. A new manager has been appointed (Clement Saunders) over her head. This doesn’t stop her from helping to keep things running smoothly. Florence feels sorry for him.
Florence attends a dance representing the council where she meets American Wm Forrest who she feels attracted to, will it lead anywhere?
May’s granddaughters twins Sybil and Maudie decide to join the WAAF, the girls have always done things together. Maudie usually quiet, keeps the peace and sorts out mistakes that Sybil, the flighty one makes. They meet up with young pilots while working at the weather station sending out reports that keep the boys safe during there flights. Sybil gets attracted to Tom Davenport who actually is with Imogen her command officer, will this stop her?
The only thing I didn’t like about the book was the fact that it ended.

What another fantastic book, it was great to catch up with all the women in jubilee road. This one focused on the twins and Florence. It was a rollercoaster of emotions but as usual Donna Douglas wove the threads of the story together. Looking forward to more from this series.
Highly recommended read
