What to expect
In love and war, these sisters stay strong.
In WW2 Scotland, headstrong Molly Robinson decides to help the war effort and sign up for the Women's Land Army but is none too pleased when her mother insists she takes along her older sister, Maisie.
At their new home in a remote Perthshire farm, the sisters find the heavy labour a shock to the system, but the long days are lightened by their friendship with local Land Girl, Shona, and attending dances at the local RAF base.
But when Maisie and Molly unwittingly fall for the same man, the sisters' relationship is thrown into turmoil made worse when one of them discovers she is pregnant, and that their charming man is far from what he seems.
With an airplane crash on the moors throwing the rural community into shock, bringing the battle closer to home, can Molly and Maisie heal their rift and find their sisterhood again, even in the sadness of war?
Carol MacLean lives in the Glasgow area. She began by writing pocket novels, having 18 published before deciding to write historical saga. When she's not writing, Carol can be found visiting museums or walking around the city looking for traces of old Glasgow to inspire her next novel.
Sarah Barron soothe and engaging voice works perfectly for this saga fiction. She has narrated over 100 audiobooks. She has worked on crime and commercial fiction you may recognise her from Libby Page’s The Island Home or Chris Brookmyre’s The Cliff House.
