Edie’s Home for Strays Paperback / softback

‘A real page-turner full of wartime friendships, hope and love’ NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ On the Home Front, one girl is determined to make a difference. But Edie’s hopes of serving overseas are dashed when she’s sent to be a Land Girl in a sleepy Cumbrian village. Prue has shut the world out since her son went away to fight.

Yet when she’s asked to take in a Land Girl and two little evacuees from London, she has no choice. Edie’s heart breaks, seeing the children’s cold welcome.

But when the evacuees take in a stray puppy, even Prue can’t say no. It’s not long before Edie realises Applefield Manor could become a sanctuary to all those without a home in wartime.

But can she persuade Prue to open her heart, and her home? A moving, uplifting wartime story that fans of Dilly Court and Kitty Neale will love.
