About this listen

Meet the Cornish Girls before the war!

War looms on the horizon. Their lives are about to change forever…

Dagenham, 1939. Sheila Hopkins has always put her family first. But when tragedy strikes, she's faced with an impossible choice: hold on to what's left of the past, or take a leap of faith for the future.

Her daughter Betsy is trying to stay strong for her children, even as her marriage is tested by sorrow and the rising tension towards her loving husband's German heritage. Then an act of violence shatters her fragile peace and everything begins to unravel.

And newcomer Edith Treloar arrives from Cornwall with a suitcase full of hopes and heartbreak… and a secret that could change everything.

As the first sirens sound, they will discover that the greatest battles are fought closest to home. Will they find the strength to carry on together?

An emotional and uplifting romance saga novel about love and courage just at the turn of World War Two, perfect for fans of Rosie Clarke, Vicki Beeby, Lizzie Lane and Elaine Everest.
