Bristol - 1945

The war has ended; the men are returning home to their loved ones, but for some things have changed.

Charlotte Hennessey-White's husband, David is no longer the gentle loving man he once was and Charlotte, so independent during the war, is devastated.

Edna Burbage's strong fiancée, Colin has suffered appalling physical injuries. He won’t hold her to her promise of marriage, but she insists her feelings are unchanged. But is that true? Is she marrying him out of love or pity?

And Polly Chandler's sweetheart, Gavin who’d she’d planned her whole future around, hasn’t come home at all.

War and suffering have changed their men leaving the women to cope on their own. But they too are changed. They harbour secrets best kept that could do untold damage to these already fragile lives.

Praise for Lizzie Lane:

'A gripping saga and a storyline that will keep you hooked' Rosie Goodwin

'The Tobacco Girls is another heartwarming tale of love and friendship and a must-read for all saga fans.' Jean Fullerton

'Lizzie Lane opens the door to a past of factory girls, redolent with life-affirming friendship, drama, and choices that are as relevant today as they were then.' Catrin Collier

'If you want an exciting, authentic historical saga then look no further than Lizzie Lane.' Fenella J Miller

From the Publisher

Dear Readers,

Let me take you back to a time when the lives of ordinary women were changed as never before.

I used to listen with avid interest as my mother and others told me of their wartime experiences, the fear, the shortages, the blackout and the sudden changes in their lives. Factory girls, typists, debutantes and housewives left the home front and took up nursing, ambulance driving, fire watching and much more. En masse they left the home front behind and took up duties on the war front. These are the women whose stories I tell – whether they are keeping the home fires burning or serving on the war front.

Despite everything, they still found time to have fun, to love whether for the moment or such love that lasts a lifetime.

I hope you too will come with me and follow these very ordinary girls of whom much was asked and a lot given.

Lizzie Lane

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Lizzie Lane has written over fifty books a number of which have appeared in the top thirty best selling paperbacks and the Heatseekers charts. Her pet interest is WW2, how little people carried on regardless against the biggest upheaval the world had ever known. She mentions at one stage about how it seemed Britain was sinking beneath the weight of weaponry and allied soldiers from all over the world.

Born and raised in Bristol, a number of her family were involved in the tobacco industry which at one time employed 13,000 people in the city. This is the inspiration behind her latest series, The Tobacco Girls which is set against those five years of war and follows their lives and loves, their hope for survival and better times to come.

Nice Read

Nice read. Took a bit of time to get into the story but enjoyable once you know who the characters are and their part in the story. Looking forward to the second book.

As an ex-Bristolian (baby-boomer!), I found this book very interesting. It touches on a lot of the things my parents used to mention, involving Bristol during the War years and immediately after. I could also visualise many of the places mentioned. The story is quite well written and holds the reader's attention. It demonstrates how the Second World War affected so many people in different ways.

I absolutely loved this book, the characters really did struggle through the war days and one can only imagine the suffering they went through in the days of war. I only wish there was a sequel cause I really felt for Edna and Colin. What a great author Lizzie Lane is I wish she would do follow ups of her stories that is my only criticism.

I enjoyed this book very much as it showed problems that occurred through the war but were not solved to after the war

Wartime Brides was a very interesting book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2013

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed this book and was glad that I was not around at that particular time. I found the subject of white girls being unacceptable in America just the same as the other way round. It also must have been hard for the returning soldiers to settle down again as their wives and children must have changed during their absence. All in all, this is a good book and very informative.
