The exciting launch of a brand-new WWII saga series - a captivating and heart-warming story of community and friendship.

Churchwood has never needed The Wartime Bookshop, or its community, more. But when the bookshop comes under threat at the worst possible time, can Alice, Kate and Naomi pull together to keep spirits high?

Kate has always found life on Brimbles Farm difficult, but she is struggling more than ever to find time for the bookshop, for her friends - and especially for handsome pilot Leo Kinsella. Can two Land Girls help? Or will they be more trouble than they're worth?

Naomi has found new friends and purpose through the bookshop and is happier than she's been in a long time - until she finds evidence that her husband is being unfaithful. With old insecurities rearing up, she needs to uncover the truth.

Alice worries for her fiance Daniel away fighting in the war and frets over the loss of her financial independence following an injury to her hand. With no job opportunities in Churchwood, might she find work somewhere else?

Praise for The Wartime Bookshop series * :- * 'A delightful wartime saga about a young girl making a difference in her new village... a story that illustrates how kindness and refusing to give up can change so much. It is also a sweet love story... Beautiful book and I loved it' * Rosie Clarke, author of the Mulberry Lane series * 'Filled with a treasure trove of well-drawn characters that leap from the page, and a plot that's well paced, well written and brilliantly researched. I could spend hours in the company of Alice, Kate and Naomi who by the end felt like firm friends. The Wartime Bookshop is a must-read for all saga fans' * Fiona Ford, author of The Liberty Girls series * 'A delight from start to finish - the perfect comfort read!' * Vicki Beeby, author of The Ops Girls series * 'Well written, well researched and likeable... It was uplifting to see Kate, Alice and Naomi slowly change and, through the bookshop, reach their potential' * Fenella J. Miller, author of Duty Calls at Goodwill House * 'I thoroughly loved reading The Wartime Bookshop. Lesley Eames brings history to life in this beautiful tale that's both gripping and uplifting about three very different women who come together during a time of war. A resounding 5-star read!' * Andie Newton, USA Today bestselling author of A Child for the Reich *
