About this listen

Dotty, Lucy and Annabelle all turn up for work at Coventry's department store Owen Owen at the same time as war is declared. Dotty is an orphan, Lucy is the sole carer for her little sister, and although Annabelle has led a life of privilege until now, everyone's having to pinch the pennies at the moment. The three form an unlikely bond, and with disaster at every turn, they're going to need each other...

I have really enjoyed this book, a lovely story of 3 girls who become friends and discover all the ups and downs in their lives . I am sure other listeners will enjoy it too!

Definitely will recommend this book enjoyed it from beginning to end. It gave a brilliant account of the lives of the people back then and the struggles and heartache they felt, and the narrator was excellent.

Very good listen

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but having enjoyed Rosie Goodwin's writing previously thought I would have a stab at this one on special offer.

It was a delightful tale of the war torn England and specifically the lives of three very different girls who bonded during that time of hardship.

I found some of their reactions to events implausible, but overall it was a lovely read, bringing sadness and joy in equal measure. (Tears to the eyes too in parts!)

The narrator was mainly good - but she sometimes used wrong phrasing and I had to stop and think what she actually meant - but that wasn't too much of a hardship, whizzed back 30 secs and re-listened.

Surpprisingly enjoyable

I have only just started reading Rosie Goodwin's books so have not read them all. However I would say that this book is one of the best I have read so far. The only thing that spoils the story is that, in the last few pages, the author ruins the ending by stamping it with her personal opinions about what is right or wrong with certain groups of people - this completely spoilt it for me.

Excellent Story

Ideal to listen to whilst I work I cried shouted with joy and said oh no in equal parts very well written despite the over use of certain phrases like beat a s new pin and straight through like x y or z

Perfect back ground
