My Review
Although this is the third book in the series and I haven't read the others, I found it fairly easy to follow as the backstory is referred to just enough to fill the reader in. Now that I've finished it though, I enjoyed it so much that I wish I could go back and read them all in order! At the moment historical books set against WW2 are popular and in this case rightly so. In this book, we follow the journey of the trio, Winnie, Frankie and Bella who are all working for the Auxiliary Ambulance Service. The story just flowed, hardly surprising with the brilliant characters especially Erika and Ivy. Horrible Ivy really deserved to get her comeuppance even if she is Frankie's step-granny. Wonderful saga.
