What to expect

The second heartwarming book in the Cornish Girls saga series perfect for fans of Ginny Bell and Elaine Everest

1941. The bombs still fall, but in St. Ives Christmas is finally approaching for the Cornish Girls…

It’s 1941, and Christmas is approaching in St. Ives…

Shy Lily wishes she could hide from the war. But when her friend Eva writes asking if she’ll join her in St. Ives, Lily can’t refuse. There are officers to nurse back to health, and a Christmas party to plan…

Eva came to St. Ives to be near Max, the stranger who almost gave his life protecting her from an air-raid. But the wounded pilot keeps pushing her away.

Rose can’t help envying beautiful Eva, who turns too many heads. But when she suspects the orphanage next door is mistreating its charges, Eva is the only one who can help her…

Can they give the children, and the officers, the Christmas they deserve?

A heartwarming tale of sisterhood in wartime, for fans of Nancy Revell and Donna Douglas.
