The Field Girls - by Rosie Archer (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Gosport, 1943.

Eadie, Joy and Maureen are all doing their bit to help Britain win the war. Their work at Priddy's munitions factory is dangerous and gruelling, but undoubtedly necessary.

However, when an explosion at the factory almost kills several of the workers, the girls decide it's time to find another way to contribute.

Joy sees an advertisement in the newsagents, seeking Hop Pickers in Hampshire, accommodation provided. They leave Gosport, ready for a new adventure. But what they discover about each other and the people they meet over the summer, will change their lives forever.
