Summary
Bristol 1939.
At forty years of age, Mary Anne Randall still turns heads. With an abusive husband spending most of his wages on beer, she has resigned herself to be the sole breadwinner to protect her family and keep the wolves from the door.
In order to make ends meet, Mary Anne runs a pawnbroking business from the wash house at the end of the garden.
Following the outbreak of war an opportunity presents itself to escape her loveless marriage and find true love.
Will she take that chance, or carry on living just for her children and not for herself?
Read the sequal A Wartime Family.

An easy listen.
Very enjoyable. Interesting, dealing with issues arising at the start of WWII. Found the reading a little annoying but the story and characters overcame that.

too similar to Tobacco girls characters
there is a definite theme to the Lizzie Lane books. I love the Tobacco Girls series but felt that this was a little repetitive with the characters. Well narrated and if you haven't read the Tobacco Girls series then I'd imagine this would be a great read.

Lovely book
What's not to like, good story, written & narrated well. I do love a good wartime story, people seemed to pull together which is heart-warming.
