About the Book

Eager to do their bit for the war effort three young women join the Women's Timber Corps. Buxom and bouncy, red-headed Lou is newly married and sees her training in Cornwall as a way of staying near her sailor husband. Gracie is making a break from her quarrelling, interfering parents and Rosie wants to escape from her bully of a brother. Life as new recruits is a bit of a shock, but they are keen to stay together in their next posting: the Lake District. Emotions are always more intense in wartime, and Rosie is swept off her feet by an American GI. Her dream of returning to the States as his wife is cruelly shattered when he tells her he's married already. Gracie falls in love with a German POW, earning the hatred of villagers and colleagues alike. And Lou has to deal with the news that her husband is missing in action. The novel ends on a note of high drama, while Gracie is helping her lover to escape but an Epilogue makes it clear that there's a happy ending.

About the Author :
Freda Lightfoot was born and brought up in the mill towns of Lancashire. She has been a teacher, bookseller and smallholder but began her writing career by publishing over forty short stories and articles and five historical romances under a different name. Having lived for many years in the Lake District and also in Cornwall, she now tries to divide her time between the two.

Review :
A rattling good read to touch the heart of anyone who has loved someone they shouldn't have. - Dorset Evening Echo On KITTY LITTLE: 'Freda Lightfoot's talent for creating believable characters makes this a page-turning read.' - Newcastle Evening Chronicle A heart-warming Lakeland saga. - Southern Daily Echo On POLLY'S WAR: 'Freda Lightfoot's new novel is a tale of a courageous young woman determined to make a better life for herself and her family.' - Lancashire Life - Manchester A heart wrenching family story that keeps you turning the pages as the drama unfolds. - Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph '[Freda Lightfoot] has an established readership who will be delighted by this latest offering ... deftly chronicled, and likeable'. - Telegraph & Argus The writer clearly knows her Manchester well, especially the canals, warehouses, factories and humble shops and dwellings of the poor. Her historical research has been painstaking and the sense of the period is very real. - Historical Novel Society On THE BOBBIN GIRLS: 'Real people and real dramas are her mainstay.' - Westmoreland Gazette
