It was really nice to catch up with the girls again and follow their progress through the war. We're still in 1939 heading towards the first Christmas of the war and at that point things hadn't really got going but families were already starting to feel the pinch. This book focuses a lot on make do and mend, with Betty coming up with all kinds of plans to help those less fortunate and struggling to manage. It was lovely to see her landlady, Mrs Wallis, stepping forward as a character and I really enjoyed the new friendship that she finds with another of the characters.
After a relatively stable time of it, the ending was unexpected and I'm sure paves the way for book three of this series. I wonder what will happen next and what's in store for Betty, Nancy and Patty as the war really gets underway in 1940
Christmas Hope for the Steel Girls is a sweet and gentle read. For me, the Sheffield references and places make it more special but this is a lovely story to remind you of the power of friendship and the human spirit, especially in the run up to Christmas.… (plus d'informations)
