An easy read, well written and characters who you root for, or not as the case may be.
We open in South Wales and Anna is supporting her mother who has been recently widowed. Anna is learning business and typing and is supported in getting a job at the local docks. Doesn't sound glamorous but with the war on there are plenty of uniforms wandering about. One catches her eye, Charles, a well-known cad with plenty of girlfriends and a love-'em-and-leave-'em attitude. His colleague is also interested in Anna but realises he doesn't stand a chance. Also there is Davy, the gangly boy next door who, after his call up and army training, isn't gangly any more. Does Anna go with the faithless spine tingling of Charles or the faithful Geoff? An easy read, well written and characters who you root for, or not as the case may be. The shortages, both of food and local men, and the dangers of the few air raids and the strangers in uniform are deftly drawn. I can recommend it for a light read.
