We follow two women in this book, who at first glance seem quite different, but we soon find share some similarities. As much as I started enjoying this book, I soon tired of reading about Rosie. I am sure there are girls like Rosie in the world but as a quite mature and level-headed person, I found it hard to follow her and her choices. I would have liked to read more of our Postmistress and her life. This book was well-written and may be enjoyed more by a younger audience.

- Blurb from the publisher, as they do it best -

Heartwarming and nostalgic new Saga series from the author of Mother’s Day on Coronation Street.

One ordinary street in Lancashire is getting ready for war, who knows what else is going on behind the net curtains?
Vicky Parrot wanted more out of life than working all hours in her father’s Post Office. Her dreams were ruined when tragedy came calling, and now happiness seems impossible.
The other townsfolk have their problems too. Sylvia Barker runs the haberdashery shop and she’s hiding more than a few secrets behind the bales of wool in the shop window. Her daughter Rosie wants more out of life than needles and cotton, but her headstrong ways are about to get her into trouble.
Life goes on for the people of Greenhill, what they can’t know is that their world is about to change forever…

Thank you to NetGalley & One More Chapter for an advance copy.
