The Mothers Day Victory

The Mother’s Day Victory by Rosie Hendry-Historical WW2 saga

We are in Norfolk at the beginning of the war and Pru and Thea are doing lots to help the war effort. Soon Anna joins them as she has lost her job as a tutor/nanny as the child is being sent away to boarding school. Not everyone is happy about Anna being in the village- she is German and came to England to escape the nazis as she is jewish. She has to register at the police station so they know where she is living. When all “ enemy aliens” get taken away, Anna is flabbergasted as she had been categorised at her tribunal as category c- the lowest possible one. The women do all they can to try and get her back but as it is government led there is no choice.

I quickly took to this- there is a real warmth of character with determination and tenacity clearly showing through. A village doing its very best in all manner to keep the residents fed and safe during the war and the traumas many are being put through one way or another. Lively and likeable characters keep the pages turning and there are lots of things going on as well as the war issues. A wonderful, highly entertaining read.

Norfolk, 1940. As war rages on, sisters Prue and Thea, along with the wider community of Great Plumstead, are doing all they can to help the war effort, from running the mobile canteen for the Women's Voluntary Service to organising clothing drives and collecting salvage. When, Anna, a young German girl who fled her country, seeks refuge in the village, Thea opens up her home, Rookery House, and invites Anna into their growing family. But while many in the village welcome Anna with open arms, others are suspicious of the new arrival . . .

The women of Great Plumstead are already fighting their own battles on the Home Front, but will they come together in Anna's time of need to keep the newest member of their community safe from war?
