Women's Fiction Historical

A BRAND NEW emotional, heartfelt wartime saga of friendship, secrets and bravery from the BESTSELLING author of The Clarks Factory Girls. Perfect for fans of Katie Flynn, Annie Murray and Margaret Dickinson.

1942, Somerset: the war rages on, but the Cider Girls are ready for the fight of their lives.

With the threat of a German invasion hanging heavy over Somerset, friends Rose, Daisy and Elsie, known as the Cider Girls, are doing everything they can to prepare.

For newly-wed Land Girl Rose, balancing demanding farm work with clandestine combat training is hard enough. But when life takes an unexpected turn, her fierce determination to fight for her country threatens to clash with her husband’s overprotective nature.

District nurse Daisy is hiding her own dangerous secrets. Desperately concealing her classified missions from the man she has always loved, her emotions are further confused by the arrival of a handsome Italian prisoner of war. Meanwhile, ATS clerk Elsie’s quiet life is disrupted when wounded soldier Tim returns from the front, and they’re forced to share a cottage.

With enemy spies infiltrating the county, the stakes have never been higher. Will the Cider Girls' unbreakable bond and undercover training be enough to protect their loved ones before time runs out?

A gripping, spellbinding read from the author of the bestselling The Clarks Factory Girls series. Perfect for fans of Kitty Neale and Rosie Clarke.

The Cider Girls books can be read as standalones.
