"A country at war. Friends in trouble. A fascist traitor. Stepping up can only lead Lily to danger."
Rescuing friends or spotting spies; Private Lily Baker always gets involved.
Set in wartime Britain this tells of three girls, their lives and work. They all work at a depot
and Lily is known for keeping her eye out to spot anyone on the fiddle. This time she has
her eye on Mr Biggerstaff who is around more often than he should be and appears to be
making deals with some of the staff. The girls also have voluntary roles in either the WRVS
or as air raid wardens and other volunteer services and we get tales of their involvemen
t at this traumatic time. I'm not usually into historical fiction however I do enjoy the women
in WW2 novels. Each time I learn a little more about what could have been (maybe
with some artistic licence) but based on facts now set in stone and still in the minds of
some. One of the girls is non practising jewish, another factor to battle against in these
different times from today. An uplifting story that is one of a series but happily stands
alone (I haven’t read the others before this one and there are three). An interesting
informative read.
