Even in the midst of the Blitz, these Midland shopgirls are unfazed.
Set in the bookshops and stores of Market Drayton in 1940, it tells the untold stories of everyday women as they brave air raids and wartime anxiety, toiling away behind grimy glass and metal shutters, pretending that their lives can go on, much as they always have, when whole villages are being flattened in the surrounding countryside. Joanna Toyes novel not only explores the grey realities of women who will bow to no-one but their work, but also delves into the turmoil of the era, the friendships formed and ruptured, wartime secrets and betrayals. Maureen Hollinger's powerful descriptions animate the prosaic landscapes and make this a fascinating read which explores inspirational and revealing slice of history.
