Dark Days for the Tobacco Girls by Lizzie Lane Historical fiction (WW2)

World war two and the Tobacco girls are living a strange life. Three young

women-Bridget Milligan, Maisie Miles and Phyllis Mason  (the 3M’s) living

in and around Bristol whose lives have changed drastically with rationing,

air raids, loss of life and all that war brings. Bridget's large family have

been moved to a safer haven albeit not together as there are so many

of them and Phyllis is having to suffer her mother in law whilst pregnant

and waiting for her husband to return. Bridget met Lyndon, an

American whose family owns the Tobacco factory but he has now

returned to the states and she longs to hear from him but when she

visits her evacuated family,  she meets a very close lookalike and her

family are hiding most of the letters Lyndon has been sending. This

is a nostalgic read, evocative of the era and the hardships ordinary

people went through not so very long ago but seems a world

away in many respects. I find these books interesting as although

fiction gives some insight to lives that did happen at that time.

A tale of lasting and treasured friendships and doing the very best

for each other whatever the circumstances. This is the second

book in the series (The Tobacco Girls being the first) and for

me would probably need to be read in order to understand

relationships etc. An interesting engaging read.
