A heart-wrenching family saga about women in World War 2, the strength of friendship, and hope.

1940, Liverpool: Alice Turner and her best friend, Millie Markham, work for the war effort at Rootes munitions factory, making shell caps and Halifax bombers. Alice’s sweetheart, Terry, is home from the front for a brief period of leave. But the honeymoon is soon over. Terry must go back to the dangers of Nazi-occupied France, and the ever-present air raid sirens quickly bring Alice back down to earth.

When a terrible explosion at the factory leads to a tragic death, Millie receives devastating news, and a loved one is announced missing in action, the heartbreak of war is suddenly all too real. Alice must believe Terry will make it home to keep up her strength. Her mother and Millie need all her support, and morale at the factory is at an all-time low. Can Alice and Millie help one another make it through these dark times, even as the war stretches on with no sign of an ending?

The Story on the whole. The narrator keep me interested in the Characters and there was a bit of written History

I enjoy stories of women’s lives on the homefront of World War II. This is a good story of women in Liverpool, who took on some of the most dangerous jobs. It is there every day stories, complete with the celebrations and the trials that everyone endures. It’s just that there are intensified during wartime. I read about the munitions factories in that area at that time, and I do wish they’d included a little more of the history that happened there. But this is a good story, well told.

I am sorry to say although the book was well written it lacked something I am not sure what but I found myself skipping every day stuff. I never want to discredit any authors just wanted to say maybe add some excitement instead of doilies made for someone. Some of that is okay but it was threaded throughout the book.
