The heartwarming brand-new instalment in the Cornish Girls series, perfect for fans of Ginny Bell and Elaine Everest


Cornwall, 1946.

Spirited Sheila is still reeling from the loss of her husband. But she’s eager to run his Porthcurno shop, despite her daughter’s objections. The villagers are facing hard times, and she wants to help them rebuild.
Joan is happy to swap the munitions factory for the fields as a Land Girl. It’s her way of giving back. She’s always preferred books over boys. But when she meets Arthur, a war-torn soul recently returned from France, she can’t ignore her feelings.
Meanwhile, Selina is heartbroken when her soldier beau breaks off their engagement to marry another. But with heartbreak comes hope, as it reunites her with her estranged sister, Bella, and her young family. And when Bella faces her own hardships, Selina throws herself into supporting her.

The fighting has stopped, but are the Cornish Girls ready to let go of the past and embrace a hopeful new future?
