The heart-warming winter saga of friendship and resilience from the author of The Bomb Girls

Nottingham, 1942

As winter approaches, for the women at the Bell Works Factory it’s business as usual.

When German refugee Ella arrives, she is met with distrust. Can she show her loyalty by getting stuck in on the factory floor?

Librarian Catherine faces heartache over her fiancé’s continued absence, with no news from the Far East. But with others in the same boat, extending the hand of friendship may be a chance to prove herself.

While local girl Nellie can’t help but question whether the factory really is the best place for her after tragically losing her sweetheart.

Wartime is never harder than in winter. As the factory girls face the darkest months without their loved ones, can they pull together to keep the wheels turning?

About Daisy Styles

Daisy Styles grew up in Lancashire, surrounded by a family and community of strong women whose tales she loved to listen to. It was from these women, particularly her vibrant mother and Irish grandmother, that Daisy learned the art of storytelling. There was also the landscape of her childhood - wide, sweeping, empty moors and hills that ran as far as the eye could see - which was a perfect backdrop for a saga, a space big enough and wild enough to stage a drama, one about women's lives during the Second World War.
