Inhoudsopgave:

It is 1943, and a month into their service as Land Girls, Bee, Anne and Pauline are dispatched to a remote farm in rural Scotland. Here they are introduced to the realities of âlending a hand on the landâ, as back-breaking work and inhospitable weather mean they struggle to keep their spirits high. Soon one of the girls falters, and Bee and Pauline receive a new posting to a Northumberland dairy farm. Detailing their friendship, daily struggles and romantic intrigues with a lightness of touch, Barbara Whittonâs autobiographical novel paints a sometimes funny, sometimes bleak picture of time spent in the Womenâs Land Army during the Second World War. |
