Evie

Description

If no-one recalled her arrival at the hostel they were unlikely to forget her departure from it. Through the boisterous adventures of the other Land Girls as war ends and peacetime begins, Evie's story has run, out of sight and out of mind, until the distruptive arrival, one July evening, of Corporal Norman Clark. But this is not to be the end of Evie's connection with the Post Stone farms or with Roger, Alice and Edward John, Georgina and Christopher, Ferdie and Mabel, Hester, Dave and Rose Crocker, or with Giorgio, the Italian POW, who loves her.

Julia Stoneham was a regular writer on The House of Elliott and her radio series The Cinderella Service (which inspired Muddy Boots and Silk Stockings) was nominated for a Sony Award. Julia lives in Totnes.

Julia's superb Land Girls series continues with this terrific yarn about Evie. Faultless writing, memorable characters and a story that's as old as the hills, but with Julia's unique style and lightness of touch. Sparkling, meaningful dialogue lifts this above the realms of romantic fiction - there's a real story to be told in this book, and Julia handles it superbly. Books Monthly
