About this audiobook
Perfect listening for fans of Katie Flynn, Margaret Dickinson and Ellie Dean! Meet the Gunner Girls - three women with one shared ambition: to join the ATS and do their bit for King and country.
Bea has grown up part of a large, boisterous Kent family. But she hasn't heard from her soldier sweetheart in months and her mother is controlling her life. She needs to take charge of her future.
Edie inhabits a world of wealth and privilege, but knows only too well that money can't buy happiness. She wants to be like Winston Churchill's daughter, Mary, to make a difference.
Joan can't remember anything of her past or her family, and her home has been bombed in the Blitz. Desperate, she needs a refuge.
Each one is a Gunner Girl: three very different women, one remarkable wartime friendship of shared hopes, lost loves and terrible danger.
This unabridged audio version is read by Julie Maisey.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really well crafted, intertwined story that had unexpected themes and kept me intrigued until the last word. Really enjoyed it as it tied everything up pretty neatly not leaving me guessing or frustrated that it didn’t. The narrator was good, no stupid accents as is too often the case lately. Bears a second listen. Will definitely keep listening to the authors work
