BOOK REVIEW: Courage for the Clarks Factory Girls by Alison Knight (Blog Tour)

MY REVIEW

Courage for the Clarks Factory Girls is book two in this wonderful WWI series!

As I enjoyed the first book (The Clarks Factory Girls at War) so much I could not wait to get to this one and I wasn't disappointed. It was great to catch up with friends Louisa, Jeannie and Kate as they continue to work at the factory.

What I love most about the series is following the protagonists individual threads as well as the threads that hold them together and author May Ellis does this extremely well. Filled to the brim with challenges, heartbreak, friendship and family, the story runs along at a pace that had me turning the pages... not to mention waiting to see if a certain couple of characters got their comeuppance!

Great read & highly recommended to all saga fans...

Courage For The Clarks Factory Girls

1915: As war continues to rage across the Channel, the families of the Somerset village of Street can no longer avoid its long shadow.

Workers in the Clarks shoe factory, at the heart of the village, have left for the army in droves, and news from the Front seems to grow darker by the day.

When life-long friends Louisa, Jeannie and Kate receive the news they had been fearing, all hope seems lost. And Louisa’s world will be rocked further when she makes another discovery, one that will see her cast out by her family, changing her life forever.

Kate and Jeannie are determined to be strong for their friend, but each of them has their own problems to bear, and when Jeannie’s beloved brother Lucas enlists, she fears history is about to repeat itself.

Can the Clarks factory girls help each other through the darkest days and keep hope alive?
