The library girls are determined to keep their community’s spirits high.
With their beloved library damaged by bombing, they’ve found a temporary home in the local school, but they long to return to the place they love.
Mavis’s wedding should be a time of joy, but beneath the celebrations, she carries a secret. Determined to stay strong, she refuses to dampen the happiness of those around her.
Jane is finally stepping into the life she deserves. After years of self-doubt, she is beginning to find her confidence and – with the support of her two best friends – perhaps even an opportunity she never thought possible.
And for Cordelia, hope is also on the horizon. As the war winds down, her partner Robert may finally return from Africa. For the first time in a long time she is looking forward to a future filled with love and joy. But dare she dream of more wedding bells?
A heartwarming and uplifting story of resilience, love and the power of friendship, perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Elaine Roberts, and Lesley Eames.
