Very good listen
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.

Perfect back ground
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

Surpprisingly enjoyable
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.

Easy listening
Enjoyable and I cared about the characters. Some predictability and a few repetitions but well narrated and interesting to listen to.

brilliant
three unlikely friends are joined together whilst working in a shop during the war.
each has a secret they keep close to their selves until they become the best of friends,
and each of their lives are as far from each others as possible.
