The Girls of Victory Street by Pam Howes is the beginning of The Bryant Sisters series. I enjoyed reading this engaging historical novel. I thought the characters were well-developed and the author captured the time-period. Historical events are mentioned along with rationing, Anderson shelters, items in short supply, movies, and popular books. The author definitely did her research for this book. The story focuses on Bella, but we also learn about her family and her two friends, Edith Potts, and Fran Jackson. Bella has a beautiful voice that happens to harmonize with that of the handsome Bobby Harrison. The three girls work at the Bryant and May match factory until they are recruited to perform. I enjoyed reading about the girls’ journey. The story also includes romance, grief, and heartbreak. The Girls of Victory Street is a story of love, hope, friendship, and family. I thought the author provided a realistic story as well as a relatable one. We get to see the struggles people faced before and during the war. I am eager to read the next book in The Bryant Sisters series. The Girls of Victory Street is a charming and touching story with snappy singers, a wronged romance, fine friends, silk stockings, and a wretched war. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
