Description

As World War II breaks out, four friends consider the changes that war will mean. Tomboyish Becky plans to join the ATS, her neighbours Bob and Jim the navy and army respectively. Only Becky's brother Will is left out of the excitement; because of a slight physical disability, he is forced to stay behind. As the friends are separated, their youthful enthusiasm is tempered by the grim newspaper headlines and their own experiences, and they will feel both joy and pain before the war is over.

Reviews

"Another fantastic second world war saga from the inimitable Beryl Matthews, who really does have her finger on the pulse of WW2 stories. Plenty of factual material to enhance this perfect novel about four friends with differing approaches to the years that lie ahead."--Books Monthly
