About this listen
An uplifting and inspiring World War II saga for fans of Nancy Revell and Annie Groves.
1942, Manchester.
World War II is in full swing, and Lily Mullins is determined to do her bit for the war effort. Her friends and sweetheart have all joined up, and Lily's sure there must be a role for her that goes further than knitting socks for the troops!
When she decides to volunteer for the Women's Auxiliary Air Force, Lily soon discovers that she has a talent as a wireless operator. Helped along the way by a special gang of girls, she finds strengths she didn't know she had and realises that the safety of the country might just be in her hands....
Meanwhile, Danny is determined to marry Lily, but his letters home become more and more distant. Will a long separation mean the end of their love story?
An uplifting and inspiring novel of women on the home front.

Believable fiction
Wonderful story beautifully brought to life by the narrator. Well researched to bring a factual glimpse of the lives of young men women of this time, and especially the changes to their societal roles brought about by war.

I really enjoyed every minute of this book The characters were so believable and the narration was perfect.
Hearing how the war affected those on home soil was a different perspective and very interesting.

Lovely
I truly enjoyed Lilys war.
It was so informative about individuals ventures, pain and suffering. Esp as this opened a lot of opportunities for women in the workplace. Look forward to next book.
