About the Book

`A page-turner... a terrific read’ Susan Sallis "A powerful tale of survival and hardship, very well crafted and with strong characters" - Publishing News Broken Rainbows - Book Seven of the Hearts of Gold series by Catrin Collier It is 1942 and, in the wake of America's entry into the war, the small community of Pontypridd suffers its own - not entirely welcome - GI invasion. The South Carolina Regiment billeted on the town soon cuts a swathe through its women, living up to GI's reputation as "over-paid, over-sexed and over here". For Bethan, whose husband is a POW in Germany, and her friend Alma, whose husband is missing, the arrival of the American officers brings new and dangerous friendships. While for Jenny, a bitter young war widow, it is a chance to bury her grief in a series of one-night stands. The women are caught between loyalty to their men folk and the very real attraction of the GIs, and when tragedy strikes the mines, the tension reaches breaking point...

Review :
'Moving, heartwarming... impossible to put down' Evening Star The year is 1942 and the close-knit community of Pontypridd is learning to adjust to the dramatic changes made to their lives, but the arrival of a regiment of South Carolina GI's. Not only do they have to make room in their homes to accomodate men, but as a result existing lifestyles and relationships are put under tremendous strain. Other than the men working as reserves in the mines and the soldiers they enounter on home leave, the GI's are allowed to roam free. Tensions rise as it becomes clear that it is not only the single girls who find themselves endeared by the GI's charms. Their presence prompts the women of Pontypridd to question their relationships, the men they love and are seperated from, with their new very different lives. Powerful, moving, absorning and a true insight into the lives of women left behind when their partners went off to fight for their country. International Press
