About this listen

August 1941: As war sweeps across Britain and millions of men enlist, women must fight the battle on the home front. Fran always thought she would marry her childhood sweetheart and live in Massingham, the beloved pit village she has always called home. But the opening of a munitions factory in the north-east of England presents a new opportunity. Against her father's wishes and with best friends Sarah and Beth by her side, Fran signs up to join the ranks of women at the factory. It's dangerous work, but the friends discover that their lives are only just beginning.

Absolutely loved this book and all the characters in it. I have laughed with them all and cried many tears. Looking forward to lots more.

Nothing better than a lovely Geordie accent narrating this book. Story of how hard things were for the families and what an important role young girls/women played… with a mix of romance & rivalry thrown in. Great book from start to finish.

I am sure in paperback this is a great book, but the narration is strange and makes it difficult to follow.
