The sixth heartwarming instalment in the Cornish Girls saga series perfect for fans of Ginny Bell and Elaine Everest
Will the Cornish girls come out on top once the war is finally over?
Bude, Cornwall 1944.
Even in Cornwall, the war shows no signs of slowing…
When tragic circumstances force Alice to give up her spy training, she is distraught. That is, until she’s asked to join a specialist group of codebreakers who might just find the key to winning the war.
Young Imogen feels impotent to help her beloved Cornwall as war rages on. When she suspects the attractive new Vicar of betraying their country, she's determined to uncover his deceit.
Meanwhile, American Pearl - entertainer to the troops – pours her heart into into the war effort to boost morale, despite being jilted by her sweetheart. Can she find a home, and maybe even a family, in Bude?
As the war continues to rage on, will the Cornish Girls make it through to victory together?
