Fascinating and evocative historical details bring Rosie Archer’s wartime romances to life: the Canary girls working in munitions factories, living at home, dancing at night with American servicemen, and longing for the return of family and friends on the front; the families living in poverty, mending and making do; and then, as always, those who live to prey on the vulnerable. Multiple character arcs and storylines intersect, spiced with romance, darkened with disaster, and lightened by friendship, forgiveness and love. The munitions girls of the title work long hours with dangerous materials, risk their health and their sanity, and serve the war effort with their dedication. Pleasingly forgiveness is sometimes well deserved, and bad behavior can be redeemed by good. It’s an enjoyable novel, offering lots of detail of lives that are often forgotten, and leaving a haunting sense of war on the home front too. Disclosure: I read it on a trip to England. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

An enthralling, eventful WW2 saga from the popular writer of the Daisy Lane novels - perfect for fans of Daisy Styles. 1943, Gosport, Hampshire. Pixie Saunders is 19 and employed in the local armaments factory. Not for the first time, her mother has run off with a dodgy-looking bloke, leaving Pixie to pay the rent and fend for herself. Pixie, along with her best friend Rita, Em, the factory overseer, and the rest of the girls are making the most of the war while trying to stay alive. The work is dangerous and the hours long, but in the evenings they take off their overalls and go to the pub or, better still, go dancing. Pixie meets American serviceman Cal and falls in love. But then Cal rejoins his ship. When Pixie falls pregnant, her life changes dramatically. Alone and unable to work, she has to rely on the kindness of friends to help her survive. Happiness seems like a thing of the past. Little does she know that there are plenty of surprises waiting for her - good ones at that. Love may be closer than she thinks.
