'A delightful story of friendship, love and hope' Elaine Everest London, 1914: one ordinary day, three girls arrive for work at London’s renowned Foyles bookshop. But when war with Germany is declared their lives will never be the same again... Alice has always been the 'sensible' one in her family – especially in comparison with her suffrage-supporting sister! But decidedly against her father's wishes, she accepts a job at Foyles Bookshop; and for bookworm Alice it's a dream come true. But with the country at war, Alice's happy world is shattered in an instant. Determined to do what she can, Alice works in the bookshop by day, and risks her own life driving an ambulance around bomb-ravaged London by night. But however busy she keeps herself, she can't help but think of the constant danger those she loves are facing on the frontline... Alice, Victoria and Molly couldn't be more different and yet they share a friendship that stems back to their childhood – a friendship that provides everyday solace from the tribulations and heartbreak of war. Perfect for fans of Elaine Everest, Daisy Styles and Rosie Hendry. Look out for the next book in the series, The Foyles Bookshop Girls at War.

Pickpick

The Foyles Bookshop Girls by Elaine Roberts is a tough read for anyone who has lost someone to the trauma of war. This book is from the perspective of the women who were left at home to deal with the effects of war outside the battlefront.

Ms. Robert's writing style is easy & written in a way that you can see Alice & her friends, her family & those who she works for & feel as if you are there participating in all the story. #WWII #HF

Somebody left me in a bookshop for two hours yesterday. What did he THINK was going to happen?
