It’s 1941 and the bombs are still
falling when we return to St Ives to celebrate Christmas with the Cornish
Girls.
With the war ongoing, Lily is feeling anything but festive. That is, until Eva
asks if she’ll join her in working at an officers’ convalescent home, lifting
her spirits no end.
Eva came to St. Ives to be near the man who
almost gave his life to protect hers. But will the wounded pilot ever help to
heal himself by opening his heart to love?
Rose suspects the local orphanage is mistreating
its charges – and it’s her job to uncover the truth before it’s too late…
This is the second time that we meet the Cornish
Girls – we first meet them in “Wartime With The Cornish Girls” and it was
fantastic to be reunited with them again in this book. If I’m completely
honest, it took me a little while to remember who was who, and what their
relationships/friendships were with each other but once I did it was another
glorious read and lovely and festive in the run up to Christmas.
Saying that, this can be read as a
standalone story, but is probably better read as a set as you develop a
relationship with the characters and cheer them on.
This book really did have
everything in it that you could want – romance, historical story lines and it
will have you cheering the goodies, and booing the baddies!
Another fantastic book by Betty
Walker.
