Schöne Geschichte für Zeit am Kamin - gespickt mit ein bisschen geschichtlichem Hintergrund, ist es eine locker-leichte Unterhaltung.

So this is my first Land Girls book and I found this is apart of a series. I read it as stand alone and found it is a brilliant read but I will be reading them all.
Brenda and Joyce are doing there bit working as Land Girls but thay want more of a challenge and decide to farm in a more remote location. Brave Girls! I have so much admiration for all during the wars and I love the hope and courage they all have hence why I love reading this genre of books so much. Despite the hardship they face the girls are troubled by the friends and family some who are away fighting but its trouble closer to home that sprigs them into action. Will this be a happy Christmas for the Land Girls?
I will now being looking out for more by Jenny and reading all of the Land Girls books.

I didn't realise this was part of a series but can certainly be read as a stand alone.
A heart warming tale of friendship and victory in adversity. A well written story with fabulous characterisation, I would certainly read more by this author.

We can't imagine how awful living through the war was the hardships and loved ones off fighting but by reading this makes me realize how lucky we are in 2018. This book has it all heartbreak, relationships and how to have fun in hard times. The Land girls did a marvelous job and this book celebrates this

This is a first for me by this author but won't be my last!

Winter, 1942. Brenda and Joyce are just two of the girls who have joined the Women’s Land Army and are doing their bit for the war effort. But after months working on farms in the Yorkshire Dales, they’re looking for a fresh challenge.

However, moving to billets high up in the remote fells means fewer creature comforts – and new hardships. Brenda and Joyce are about to discover that they will need more than a stiff upper lip to get through the winter months . . . and the drama they simply can’t escape.

Despite the bitter cold, their fear for those away fighting and concern for family and friends, there is warmth to be found in faces old and new, and plans for a jolly Christmas are afoot.

But when a child evacuee goes missing in the snow and tragedy strikes close to home, can their dearest wish – that all their loved ones stay safe this Christmas – possibly come true?


I absolutely loved this story... a heart-warming romantic tale of friendship, fellowship and victory over adversity.

I didn't realise this was part of a series... and didn't feel as though I had missed anything, so this can be read as a stand-alone, but saying that... I'll be hunting down the previous books to find out what's gone on before this instalment.

I look forward to more of this author's work.

Thank-You Netgalley for my ARC.
