A BRAND NEW, enthralling WWII industry saga, perfect for fans of Nancy Revell and Maisie Thomas.'Friendship, drama and an array of authentic characters make this debut saga a must-read.' Maisie Thomas, bestselling author of The Railway Girls series
September, 1939.
When war is declared, Lily sees an opportunity to escape her domineering father: she will join the Great Western Railway factory to win her financial independence and move out of home.
Maggie doesn't want to simply follow in her sisters' footsteps and work in the laundries at the GWR. So, when the chance comes to volunteer for men's work in the machine shop, she's the first to raise her hand.
Catherine, a clerk in the GWR office, has been helping with London's evacuation efforts, organising trains to move children out of the city. But when her task is completed, will she defy her family and fiancé's wishes and sign up for a more dangerous role?
Taking on demanding new duties, Lily, Maggie and Catherine - and others - develop an unexpectedly close bond.
But will friendship be enough to carry them through the ups and downs of life at war?
The first instalment in a brilliant new wartime series set in Swindon's Great Western Railway works.
'A compulsive, absolutely unputdownable read! I was enthralled by the wonderful stories of these courageous Railway Girls. Swindon and the Great Western Railway community come alive in this book.' Renita D'Silva
