A heart-warming and rich tale of camaraderie and friendship among the land girls on the Suffolk coast in WWII, from the author of The Bomb Girls

April 1942. Nestled on the beautiful Suffolk coast lies Deben Hall, welcoming conscripted women eager to help the war effort.

Dreaming of leaving Oldham to work in a radar station, Grace is devastated to be grouped with the land girls on arrival. Handsome RAF officer Kit could be the distraction she needs - unless an arch rival gets there first.

Meanwhile glamorous Ava is thriving on London’s modelling scene, is she really ready to hang up her heels in the name of King and Country?

And recently bereaved Ivy is determined to put on a brave face, but it can only distract from her shameful secret for so long.

Harvesting and fruit picking in the heat while the men are at the front, these mis-matched girls must toil together through heartbreak and tragedy.

But someone close to home is not on their side.
Can the land girls stop them, before it’s too late?

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.
