Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Sisters of Battle Road by J. M. Maloney, read by Annie Aldington.

In 1939 Annie Jarman and her six young daughters were evacuated from their south London home and sent to the Sussex countryside to wait out the war. Little did they know what was in store for them or how their lives would change.

From the trials and tribulations of leaving London, the destructive horror of the Blitz and terrible family tragedy to tea dances, romance and the triumphs of making a new life in the country, The Sisters of Battle Road is the compelling true story of six ordinary girls who carved out a life in extraordinary wartime circumstances.

Today, the six young girls โ€“ Mary, Anne, Sheila, Pat, Joan and Kath โ€“ are six remarkable women who have lived to tell their tale of sisterhood and its unbreakable bonds in the shadow of World War Two.

J. M. Maloney is a former national newspaper showbiz editor and has worked in senior roles in consumer magazines. He is now a freelance showbusiness journalist who writes for various publications in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. He has written books on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and a review examining the stories behind 100 historic newspaper headlines. As the son of one of the Jarman sisters, he is perfectly placed to tell the story of the experiences of his mother and his aunts during World War Two.

Reviews

This is a tale of survival - of six girls who faced bombs and prejudice alike, but who rolled up their sleeves and looked after each other. Nobody could accuse the lively Sisters of Battle Road of keeping calm. But by heck, they carried on. Survival against the odds... [an] amazing story. An extraordinary story. This story hits hard with nostalgia for a vanished world where pennies counted, housewifery was taught at school and every one pulled together, untied by a common enemy. Expand reviews
