A Woman's War: The perfect wartime saga

Description

As enemy planes continue to bombard the North West of England, the members of Great Paxford's WI fight harder than ever to persevere. Teresa Lucas has reshaped her life to become the perfect wife - but will the arrival of a new guest throw her world off kilter? Laura Campbell is grieving for her father, but in the midst of tragedy, a new future beckons. Pat Simms plans to escape her difficult life at the end of the war, but when things change at home, she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew. And for Steph Farrow, it's not the threat of what's to come she fears, but whether she can live with what she has done...
